Museum Of East Texas Summer Art Programs in Lufkin Texas
Art Journaling Class: Sometimes I Just Need to be Alone with my Art Supplies
What is an art journal? A place to rest, restore and explore your creative self and arty techniques. If you have always wanted to play with paint, but a blank canvas is too intimidating, open the pages of a journal and mark, doodle, and scribble your way to a creative adventure. Participants will repurpose an old hardback book to create a personalized journal filled with mixed media fun. Bring your own or pick one from those provided. Class is appropriate for beginning artist explorers or seasoned artists who feel pressured to produce and need a place to play for no other reason than the joy of it. Supplies will be provided, but feel free to bring your favorites as well.
Dates/time: Session 1: Sundays, June 4, June 11, June 18, June 25, from 1:30-3:30 Session 2: Sunday July 9, July 16, July 23, July 30, from 1:30-3:30

Diana Meade made her living as an artist for 20 years until she retired and moved back to her hometown of Lufkin. Ever attracted to quirky, incongruent, or abandoned materials, Diana is inspired by the power of storytelling, even if that story is captured for only a moment in time in her work. She is often seduced by fabric and thread but comes up for air by using paint and paper to remind her that creativity is in our DNA and isn’t limited to one form. She is active in the Lufkin Art Guild and The Quilt Guild of the Pineywoods. She writes about creativity on this website.
