Combine Visual Art Journal techniques with the art of drawing. Learn and apply your level of drawing skills using the mediums of ink, charcoal, watercolor crayons, and more!
Drawing: Visual Art Journal Course is part of Julie Shelton’s Visual Art Journal Series. The Drawing: Visual Art Journal Course will combine Visual Journal techniques with the art of drawing. Visual Art Journals are multimedia journals used primarily in art classes, but can be modified to create Connected Learning Experiences for courses other than art (English, science, history, etc). Instruction will be given on how to incorporate drawing elements to build strong layers and backgrounds for visual journal pages.
Start now to acquire supplies and journal fodder to prepare for the course!
