This class was made with you in mind
This online class has been designed by Art therapist Sophie Babeanu and visual Artist Sandrine Pelissier. It is mostly text and picture based, with a few introductory videos, beware of the French accent and puppy cuteness 🙂
What is the class about?
We want you to have fun making art that is fulfilling. It is an exciting adventure, you are going to explore and discover yourself.
This class is for you if
You are a beginner to advanced artist. Anyone can do it and you can choose for each unit how much time and effort you want to invest.
If you have the desire to create but are not sure where to start or what to do, this class will offer many possibilities for you to enjoy making art.
This class is not for you if
You want step by step, precise instructions on what to paint/draw and how to do it. We want to encourage creativity and self expression so we leave you some space to take your own decisions. We will offer ideas and media to explore for each unit but you have to be comfortable exploring ideas independently.
Why would I take this class?
Maybe you want to explore new subjects, artistic techniques, reduce stress, or simply be more creative.
You will learn more about how your feelings and life experiences are reflected in art.
How is the class organized?
This class is self paced and divided into 12 modules, each module has a different theme: Relaxation, feelings, dreams, self portrait … that you will explore while making Art.
Each class starts with an intention, and then we show you how you can translate that intention into Art.
The class contains lots of images and videos to help you with artistic skills and techniques. Then we will take a bit of time to reflect on what has been created and engage further exploration.
The last part of each class shows exemples of Artists who did explore the same subjects or the same techniques and we will let you know about ways to take this exploration to the next level.
What techniques will I learn? And with what medium?
You will get to experiment with colored pencils, markers, watercolour, oil pastels, colllage, dry pastels, ink, charcoal, gel medium, acrylic paint….
