Hello, hello, hello! Registration is now open for the next year-long online class…
2015: Year of the SPARK!
… which I am excited to be co-teaching with the wonderful Lynn Whipple!
This class is about ART, and how we can infuse MORE of it into our lives…. More art, more creativity, more time, more inspiration, more motivation, and more FUN!
Lynn and I share a love of making art, moving our hands, and keeping things FUN. We believe that the more fun you have, the more open your mind is to creative solutions, which produces more authentic and imaginative art! We want to share what we know about being an artist, making art, living a creative life, and the business of art. Two times a month (one each from Lynn and Carla) you will receive a video lesson + pdf which will include a short spark-your-art exercise (how do we make the time for creativity? How do we start?), as well as a longer, technique-based mixed-media project. In addition, Each month Lynn and I will take turns addressing some “business of art” topics, including applying to shows, galleries, publishing, teaching, and online selling. 
This year includes: • 24 VIDEO LESSONS (12 from Lynn, 12 from Carla) • 24 Spark-Your-Art CREATIVITY EXERCISES • 24 Mixed-Media PROJECTS/TECHNIQUES (throughout the year we’ll work with drawing, painting, watercolors, acrylics, fabric, wire, charcoal, pencil, collage, glue….) • 24 accompanying PDFs with step-outs, written instructions, references, links, etc. • Instructor FEEDBACK on uploaded or emailed work • Private BLOG and closed FACEBOOK groups. • Monthly BUSINESS DISCUSSIONS with insights on making art for a living

Absolutely love it!
Hurrah! I didn’t thought it could be better than The year of the Fairy Tale, but you did it!!! I’m looking forward to a Year of Spark with Carla and Lynn! HurRaH!
Ha! I’ve already signed up ….great idea. Fantastic combination of two gifted teachers and awesome artists!
Looks AMAZING!
Spark it will be – in 2015! Looking forward to it.
wow! what a neat project and class. I wish I could afford this but I will take pleasure in seeing what you all create. Thanks for your wonderful blog and inspiration!
Oh, golly I’m so excited! This is just what I was wishing for! I’m going to sign up!
I was wondering how you’d top the Year of the Fairy Tale as it seemed tailor made for me. I think you did it! Looking forward to it. Looks like you cooked up a great class!
Wow – this looks very fun! After Year of the Fairy Tale – which was so much about drawing and Illustration, which I tried, but its just not what I’m interested in – I had determined that whatever you were doing in 2015 – I would pass. But, I am very tempted. Especially with the addition of Lynn – I love her energy.
All I can say is “Ooh-La-La!” Love the focus of this.
I’m excited that you will be including some information on the business side of art too! Always great to learn from experts! 🙂
Your format sounds wonderful too! WOW! Can’t wait for 2015!
Sounds wonderful! Can’t wait to have the great inspiration and community for a year!
Can’t wait! I’m practically counting down the days…or weeks! I loved doing the 2014 Year of the Fairy Tale. Looking forward to all the creative excitement in 2015.
LOVELY !!! CAN WAIT, YOU LADIES ROCK IT !
I just signed up for this!! So excited to begin. I LOVED Year of the Fairy Tale.
I am so excited about doing The Year of the Spark! I wanted to do The Year of the Fairy Tale last year but it didn’t work out. Can’t wait to get started!
So glad you can join in, Kathy! Thank you!
I am beyond beyond happy — thank you! I, too, can’t wait to start. You have me feeling, well, SPARKly!!! XO
Hi Carla—-was wondering what the status is for the signed prints from you and Lynn? I haven’t received mine and I am looking forward to seeing them. Thanks. Jane
