Cultivating Creativity with Color & Design
OCSfC extended studies classes - 2006
Rand Calligraphy & Book Arts Club - 2003

In this class we will investigate the language of our own personal artistic expressions. Through the study of color, design, symbology, and personal imagery we will begin to reach the core of our motivations and inspirations, empowering our work at a more conscious level. The culminating project of a color wheel mandala will merge the associations and techniques that we uncover. Class sessions will be utilized for exploration and journals will be enlisted to further intuitive study. This course is for all levels.
