Class Experience

In this ongoing group, students will have the opportunity to share original artwork in their preferred medium with peers. Visual artists, musicians, writers, animators, and photographers are all welcome! This is a safe environment to share your projects, receive feedback, encouragement and support. 
Students will have ample time to interact and socialize with each other, ask questions, and share. New artists, budding artists, and those with experience in their craft are all welcome to join. My teaching approach is very student paced and student led, while maintaining some structure to ensure all students have the opportunity to be heard. 
We will begin with a creative exercise (typically writing or drawing) then move into the sharing portion of the group. Students are not required to identify as queer, but this group is designed to be a safe space for those who do to express and develop their art. Student's art does not have to be directly related to queer identity, though this group is a great opportunity to share your creations about it!
