First-come, first-serve
Join the Aspen Art Museum and local artist Christie Helm for an immersive visual journaling workshop! This creative practice combines the written word and artistic imagery to express and record thoughts, experiences, and emotions.
Visual journaling has a rich history spanning from ancient cave paintings to modern art therapy. Influential figures like Leonardo da Vinci and Carl Jung used it to document their observations, inventions, and inner psychological worlds.
In this workshop, participants will explore visual journaling as it relates to color theory, landscape, and still life to craft stories that are uniquely their own.
Each participant will leave with a journal and a supply kit to continue their visual journaling practice at home.
