Rev Up Your Creativity

Could you use a happy boost of creative energy? This six-week course will encourage you to take a little creative escape and get in the flow. Freedom to explore, make mistakes and have fun will be common themes in this class. Topics will include: exploring creativity through exercises and dialogue; tools to facilitate creativity and activities to express creativity; what blocks us, and understanding of your own creative process.

We are following current COVID-19 regulations: Masks are mandatory inside the building, and we will be checking for proof of full vaccination for participants born in 2009 or earlier.

Class activities will include collage, painting loosely with acrylics, drawing, doodling and more. Sound fun? Then hop on the bus to Creative-land and register. All art abilities and medias welcome.

Your Instructor, Joanne Barwise, is a life-long learner, professional educator, mixed media maker and artist. She

likes the self-imposed title, “creatologist” and enjoys the challenge that different materials present in the making process.
