From Victory Road

A Touch of Whimsy
2019-12-07 09:00 - 12:00 UTC | Victory Road, KS, United States
There is a part deep within us that enjoys something whimsical… something that steps beyond reality to the place of play and dreams. It may be boldly whimsical, or a bit more subtle, but its presence in any degree transforms our art into something that brings a smile to those who view it. According to the dictionary, whimsy is the quality of being slightly odd or playfully humorous, especially in an endearing way. Just a touch of whimsy can help express things in our art that reality just can’t! It evokes an emotion… usually on the lighthearted, happy side. Whimsy seems like an intangible quality… but is it really? In this workshop we will practice four practical techniques to create a finished whimsical piece of art or art journal page.

Bible Journaling Workshop
2019-07-28 14:00 - 17:00 | Victory Road, KS, United States
All new projects for this Bible Journaling Workshop!
The Bible Journal , or Faith Journaling, craze has been around for a number of years now, and seems here to stay for a bit! The combination of faith and creative outlet hits on the essence of who we are, created in the image of the ultimate Creative Genius! We are coming to understand that those are not separate compartments of our life, but actually work hand in hand, each deepening and enriching the other. As an artist, every time I create it can’t help but tap into God’s creative Spirit dwelling in me. As Christian creatives, it comes naturally to express our thoughts and meditations in multiple ways. We pray, we sing, we write and we make art! Even in the secular world it is recognized that when we doodle as we listen or think on something we retain 39% more of what we heard, just by engaging more of our senses!
Come learn tips and techniques for art/faith journaling in your Bible or journal while working on a new set of page projects!
