Color Club: Basics of Composition
Learning the basics of composition and how to tell stories with images!
Composition is an important skill— building a compelling arrangement of shape and color to tell a story is at the heart of any visual art! This subject may be vast, but ultimately, composition is all about mastership of the fundamentals. In the second part of The Leaping Fae’s “Color Club” series by Zoë Peña, we learn the building blocks of composition, how successful composition works, and how to imply narrative through composition.

“Connecting with Your Inner Healer” - Session #3
We’re not medical professionals, but we sense you need healing.
“Connecting with Your Inner Healer” - Session #3 ~ Your Wellness Toolkit
with poet, Cristina M. R. Norcross, author of The Poetry Apothecary
Part 3 of a four-part, monthly, creative writing workshop series based on the full-length poetry collection, The Poetry Apothecary, by author Cristina M. R. Norcross. How do we tap into the ways in which writing can be used as a healing tool? In this series, each workshop will focus on one of the sections of the book, with themes ranging from soul nourishment, to human connection, and becoming ourselves. Housed within a safe and welcoming space, we will gather together for guided prompts, writing time, and sharing sessions, as well as meditation and breathwork. No experience with writing required. All are welcome on this healing journey. Each workshop stands on its own and can be taken individually. Participants are welcome to sign up for one, several, or all 4 workshops.
Length: 90 minutes / via Zoom
