I've taken lifebook before in 2017 and 2018 and I enjoyed it, but also missed a lot of classes, I probably only did a third of what was on offer, and felt that it was aimed at someone with less experience than me... I've been paintin and drawing pretty consistently for the last 40 years!
But back in late November I think, there were some taster lessons that ran for 2 weeks. It's a busy time of year so I only watched 4 of the short classes and only attempted 2 of them.
One was this wonderful art journalling lesson with Pia Rom - combining paint, collage and words to find a story. It felt like such an interesting and easy way to build an image. (By easy I think I mean sidestepping the inner critic) It seemed to open doors in my mind for how I might approach artmaking and journalling. That one lesson convinced me to try lifebook again, that there are new things there for me to learn and new inspiration.
Do take a look @piaromsart on instagram, her journal pages are stunning and now she's playing with little clay figures too.... looking forward to doing her full lifebook lesson!
