Class Experience

Get $10 off my class "Creative Writing and Drawing: Story Starters for Artists!" with coupon code GULLEFRS8P10.

Does your child love to draw and tell stories, or enjoy creating imaginative worlds? Perhaps they need a little encouragement to find their voice and express their creativity. If so, this class is a perfect for them!

We’ll start with brief introductions and review the materials needed for class. Next, we’ll talk about our weekly topic/story starter, brainstorm ideas, and create a quick plan for our story. From there, learners will do a quick drawing to help bring their ideas to life and then they will continue their story through writing. By combining art and storytelling, we’ll nurture creativity and confidence.

At the end, learners can proudly share their creations with the group. Let’s make stories together!
