I would like to thank you for this motivating course. My juices are flowing again, and the many prompts will continue to serve me well in the future whenever I don't know where to start. Thank you Kara, thank you Carla, thank you everyone!

# data[].attributes.body
Carla's mention of the "blue book" and the influence that author's approach had on her, prompted me to buy a used copy of The Art of Teaching Art to Children in School and Home, by Nancy Beal. Reading it led me to Beal's mentor, Lois Lord, with this quote from her describing the "access" I encountered with this class: "Art, Lois Lord observed, offered children a way to connect who they were (their inner selves) with the outside world; she felt strongly every child deserved access to this means of communication".

From the prompts (I'm currently still working on the first set of 10 with the rest waiting in the wings) to the Zoom fun of twisty pencils, and the intrigue of cut words unexpectedly revealing my heart, I've appreciated the wonder and intrigue involved with the inner to outer connections Carla and Kara set up and invited us to experience. Thank You for another dynamic class. Louise

On Take a walk ...

So I did this week, a little walk in my neighbourhood. Winter, but it felt like spring, one of these days

# data[].attributes.body
Stamping around…., creation rhymes with intuition….

# data[].attributes.body
On Symmetry, baby!

Working on questions, asked a little more courage for me. Although felt also good afterwards

# data[].attributes.body
Background idea. Very meditative making these

Collage a creature with wings

Not a poem, but an enjoyable experience combining the result of the color transfer with pen exercise from the 1st zoom, with the cut words from week 3. Even though I didn't start out immediately engaged with either, I was surprised by how satisfying it felt to come up with something unplanned that held and revealed my heart and thoughts.

# data[].attributes.body
I love this prompt and used a tooth brush to speckle the page in tiny dots to remind me to capture tiny moments. I’ll be toothbrush speckling thru my journal and I will know what to do when I come upon those pages! Tiny moments

# data[].attributes.body
Repeat something. Next time i start with a background (if i do not forget)

Haven’t worn a 2-piece since my 20’s. And wrote a note to myself on the page.

# data[].attributes.body
Getting unafraid to write in my mixed media journal! Paper I painted then wrote a note to a friend.

# data[].attributes.body
It was fun to roll unexpected from one prompt to another. Good to experience that a mistake can turn in a happy accident. Thanks to the zoomlessons, tips and variety in prompts (and paint over)

Hi, yesterday a friend of my told me about making stamps of clay yourself. New and nice inspiration for me. Maybe for some of you as well.  So nice to look for patterns in the house. 🙂 Now i see them " everywhere", such fun. 

# data[].attributes.body
What a wonderful variety of sketchbook pages in response to the prompts! I really enjoyed looking at all of them.

"How is my cozy sensation so sad?"

I tried! 🤣 But it's such a fun process! ☺️

# data[].attributes.body
Hi, today “repeating something prompt” a lot of fun, two draws, maybe I will put some words in them, I have some ideas.. Pam

# data[].attributes.body
Suppose these are my last posts for today 😇 So nice to play with this stuff. Very happy with the inspiring prompts

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
It's nice to share and see the different kind of work of each other. I realise i share quite a lot this week... (It begins to feel also a little uncomfortable..)

# data[].attributes.body
But this little one seems to be dreaming that it’s a BIG, intriguing(?) kitty. Watercolor.

# data[].attributes.body
Tried to put a watercolor wash in background but most so faint it can’t be seen in pic. Thanks for demonstrating how to do this Carla. Watercolor and Pitt Artist brush pens.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
I repeated the faces, used background drips, and added a gray to the blue for a bit of an overlap. Cutting out the words and placing them was a fun addition. There's a shimmery white overall background too, but hard to see in the photo.

# data[].attributes.body
Hi everyone!

I'm loving all of your posts! Apologies... I'm behind on commenting as we are filming an artist this week and POOF! my time has disappeared! But I plan to catch up by tomorrow and look forward to Saturday's Zoom with you. xo

Keep posting!!

Hi, today my random promt: Swatching something…., I messed up with alcohol ink colors, i think there are two “guests”, do you see?

# data[].attributes.body
Such a playfull 'exercise'. Had fun 😊

# data[].attributes.body
Hi everyone, I started today with this course and already had fun

# data[].attributes.body
I used the background drips from the second Zoom meeting, and added the figure, and it grew from there. It was fun to do, and that's the best reason I can find!

# data[].attributes.body
Hi, today prompt… photo, timer and draw…,

Hi Everyone! The Week #2 Zoom recording is up at your class page. So happy to see everyone!

# data[].attributes.body
A few things from this past week. Lots of watercolor and water pastels, ink, pasting.

One thing I’m appreciating is the awareness that I can revisit and change or cover the things I don’t like. The first one started with markers (hated it), I just covered it in watercolor and ink, wrote in water pastel on the partially wet paper, and it grew into one that I love.

# data[].attributes.headline

”Ernie”-Light character on dark background

# data[].attributes.body
Inspired by creatures from the ocean. Ernie’s background and body are soft pastels, eyes and white dots posca pens.

# data[].attributes.body
Who knew I had so many bits of tape laying around!!! Was fun to find them all, tape them down, add a strawflower and a piece of old jewelry to top it off.

# data[].attributes.body
Experimented with combining 4 mediums- acrylic grabie pens ( those are new to me, thanks for mentioning Carla), neocrayon, watercolor, and pastel pencil. Would love thoughts tips on combining mediums- at any point in the class

# data[].attributes.body
The beginning of this week was tough - my kiddo had Flu A with two ER visits and one 911 response due to what was likely fever hallucinations. I started the “light character on a dark bg” prompt, and it became his eyes in the midst of it, wondering what he was seeing, where he was.

He’s back to normal now, having bounced right out of it! Oof.

# data[].attributes.body
Could not get to “Anything Goes” last week, but had fun getting started this afternoon. These are inspired by last week’s prompts.

# data[].attributes.body
It started out as 10 minutes, but turned into a half hour! It was fun, and that’s one of my “Why’s.”

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
1. Pretend you are a bug 2.Remeber a dream 3.Yellow is the color of... 4.Take 2 colors you like

# data[].attributes.body
I am amazed at how long 10 min is and noticed it was a jump start and I’d like to keep going. Great prompt

# data[].attributes.body
I’ve had both of these showing up in my life lately, as symbolic helpers, so it was funny to see them pop up in Carla’s prompt! I put the supersized insect below the bear, in the sense of “the wind beneath my wings.”

# data[].attributes.body
Hi Everyone! Welcome to Week #2 (already)! There are 10 new prompts at your Week 2 class page, and the zoom recording is now available at your Week 1 page. :D

# data[].attributes.body
Wind, tangle, loop, divert

Draw from the middle and draw-through with water pastels

# data[].attributes.body
I loved the drawing marks I could make through the Neocolor crayon paper. Also did Glue Something and Draw Your Hand. Fun!

# data[].attributes.body
In addition to the zoom (first two), I also spent time putting color on paper in my larger (blank) sketchbook so it’s not as scary! And I loved the draw-through technique with color. I remember doing that with graphite to make my own carbon copy paper as a kid. Excited to use that more!

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
 I drew two attempts on top of each other. It's good practice; I feel the movement more than when I draw with my eyes open. And as is often the case with everything, I like the first attempt best.

# data[].attributes.body
Such a fun Zoom session! Thank you!

# data[].attributes.body
I had a ceramic face sitting around for years. Grabbed it for class and a meaningful idea for it came as I stayed with the piece. Thanks!

Digging into those “precious” and beautiful magazines I love and protect and never look at…

Jessie from cold New Jersey.

I found a sketchbook that I had used entirely for wiping off gel plate brayer and other tools long ago... so I'm using it for the Anything Goes sketchbook now as background pages. I tried out different materials. Very relaxing!

Birds in a tree

# data[].attributes.body
I am always giving people tissues in my office ( therapy) and it was so fun to create a blessing tissue box . I also really hesitate to write by my art and went for it with non dom hand .

# data[].attributes.body
For my prompt I chose what would a bug see, I had in mind my garden and and ended up drawing my olive tree. I really enjoyed this, didn’t use paints and it was so calming to do I did a lot in the afternoon. Still not finished but anytime I want to I can go back into it. The second prompt was printing a photo and cutting it up and collaging didn’t realise it was similar values so not great to look at but it was throughly enjoying to do that is definitely want to try another one.

# data[].attributes.body
A bit darker… glue glue glue

# data[].attributes.body
I really like this two colors together!

# data[].attributes.body
Late starting as usual. First prompt - A bug’s view. Now I’m going to go cut up a photograph. Fun!

# data[].attributes.body
I started with the Hands prompt and it grew from there. As I cut the hands from the music paper, another message popped out. Organic, Allowing it be what it wanted.

# data[].attributes.body
Pasting and doodling!

# data[].attributes.body
Glue something + dots

Hi, Rose here, today I chose Camouflage —here's a result that completely surprised me, scratchy yet special. I love having a task, a goal—it helps me get started.

Combined some prompts: pasted the scenery, added the spidery guy, then went for some dots.
