Use one simple shape to create a themed journal or journal pages that are layered with personal meaning, technique and materials. You will choose one shape to become your symbol using a pattern provided by me or by drawing your own. We will be making accordion style pages that can be made into a journal or the pages can be added to a pre-existing journal. Using your chosen shape/symbol you will explore on each page through layers of paint, collage and drawing using papers, photos, fabric, crayons, stamping and stenciling.
