Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned artist, this lesson is designed to spark your creativity and introduce you to techniques that are as fun as they are transformative. Let’s dive into the world of mixed media together! The **100 Days of Collage Mixed Media Art Class** is designed to inspire creativity, develop artistic skills, and nurture self-expression through the versatile medium of mixed media collage. Over the course of the class, participants will create one-page collages in their art journals (or their preferred substrate), exploring an exciting variety of themes, prompts, and techniques. By the end, you’ll have built a rich and diverse body of work that reflects both technical growth and personal creativity. The beauty of working in an art journal is its freedom—there’s no pressure to perform, no expectations of perfection, and no need to create for exhibition. It’s a space where you can experiment, play, and mess up without hesitation. This process allows you to truly develop your creativity and let the authentic “you” come to life on the page. This class is about more than making art—it’s about celebrating the creative process and unlocking the transformative power of collage.
