So Good, So Different

Sarah started off with some meditation and warm ups which helped to unlock and start the juices flowing. Its definitely a different way to look at and create your own art that's something new for me. As a realistic artist, portraying my memories in a new way was a stretch and I did need to look at photos from my trip. But while different, the growth was good. Well worth taking this course.

This class was powerful and Sarah was an excellent teacher. I really enjoyed how she worked along with us so we could hear her thought process out loud. I also really loved the topic. I though it was a very interesting take on visual/sketch journaling that I hadn’t ever seen before.

Not sure that I was in the right frame of mind for this today. I do hope to try this at another time. I understand where Sarah was coming from. Just not my day.

Sarah was fun and engaging and did an excellent job of explaining her thought process as she went along. I look forward to incorporating visual journaling into my daily life! I signed up for the class because I was hoping to get something from it that could help me keep a travel journal on my next trip. This was a bit different than I thought it might be, but also really freeing to know I can meaningfully capture moments of the trip without having to feel the pressure to spend hours carefully drawing what's in front of me.

Sarah’s Visual Journaling class opened up a new way for me to capture my thoughts and experiences. Her relaxed approach gave me permission to drop my judgements and enjoy the process. I feel inspired to go on to develop my own style for creative journaling as Sarah has done. An excellent class and delightful teacher. Thanks so much!

Really enjoyed watching how shapes and squiggles turned into a final piece, by starting with one topic and five words or objects about that topic.
