prompts to draw and paint
techniques to make your own
inspirations to energize
ideas to share
words to ponder
tunes to hum
snacks to eat
corn to husk
waves to surf
presents to open
hooks to bait

Like all our classes, our Online Community (via closed Facebook groups) will bring us together from around the world to where participants from all over the world share their work, their thoughts, and encourage each other.
We will be reaching out far and wide for Guest Artists to feature and provide prompts in music, writing, photographing, sewing, sculpture, storytelling… as well as drawing and painting!
This is a Choose Your Own Adventure class… you can try to do the prompts daily, you can pick and choose the ones that speak to you, or you can simply work the class on more of a “thinking level” in those times of the year when you get really busy!
And here are some answers to some Frequently Asked Questions!
___________
Supplies:
You will need things to draw and write with, things to paint with, and things to take pictures with.
Plus, Your Art Brain.
And, your regular art supplies that you use every day.
You will also need a sketchbook or journal. (I have created one especially for the class which you can optionally purchase HERE!)
Please head on over to the website for more details! Cost is $198 for the whole year.
How exciting! Looking forward to signing-up for another year with you Carla!
I am so very excited to be on this creative year long journey with you…Carla!!!
Looking forward to another year Carla! I think I’ve found my tribe!
I’m in! Sounds like lots of fun and inspiration!
It is just the thing for me: I spent a year making a drawing/picture a day, but towards the end I ran out of ideas. But I loved spending 15-30 minutes every morning making a picture.
So now I have ordered the book 365 Phew and will sign up soon.
Good to know there lies another Carla-year ahead.

I’m an UPPERCASE reader and I’d like to take this class because I feel it would help me focus, yet also expand. As a weaver my projects are planned and usually not quick, working with watercolors is quicker and perhaps not so planned. But writing, music and photography….they would all be a stretch, and a focus. A new assignment/project/way of looking at the world everyday…what fun that would be. Thanks for the consideration.
I’m an UPPERCASE reader and I’d like to take this course because I’m the mom of 2 under 4 and I’m just starting to feel like a person again, and part of reclaiming my selfhood is to (re)discover my artist side.

I’m an UPPERCASE reader and I’d like to take this course because 2017 is going to be a breath-taking adventure! I will be taking a 3 month, lifetime dream trip to Ireland combining the search for my Irish roots for inspiration for an art/printmaking solo art show in 2018. I’m coming off an intense 2016 as the Project Director for Deaf Arts Manitoba culminating in a cross-Canada Deaf Arts weekend accessible to Deaf artists. This 18 month long project has wrung out all my creative juices and the right side of my brain is a blank as to how to come up with a credible framework for the show. Some of the prints that come from the daily creative assignments will be donated to various arts organizations in Canada. The daily video and being part of the Facebook group is a really lovely way of connecting with other artists.
I’m an UPPERCASE reader and I’d like to take this course because I’m a creative introvert. What better way to have quiet creative inspiration than as a video delivered direct. 🙂
I am so excited to start this fun journey with you and the online group…Carla!! 🙂
