Heartwork: Art Journaling for Teen Girls

Everyone has something to say; especially kids. Art pairs perfectly with writing. Color can express joy, wonder or grief. Drawing, stickers, or stamps can be a springboard for the development of a new story or the telling of a fear or worry.

In this class, we create an art-filled journal, using creative prompts with a wide array of tools — drawings, paints, stories, feelings and color. Teens leave with a helpful treasure to mark their journey.

Journals are not strictly for writing or just for art…but a combination of both. A blank page has unlimited potential. An artful border can emotionally enhance a written piece, or the power of a story deepened with a splash of color. Kids are masters at combining the influence of art and writing in one location. A journal gives a place for just that.

Your journal is the place to keep riches mined from circumstances. It is a companion that doesn’t judge or care about spelling or grammar. It simply treasures the art created.

The journaling or story writing can be deeply private, or a place to sort out sentences before they are shared in a conversation. A journal can stir things up inside or iron out rough places of misunderstanding. A journal has ears to hear a silent voice and eyes to see into places not ready to be shared.

Ages: 12+

"Master’s Series:  Impressionist Art" is a four session series in which we will fuse Art History along with duplicating a painting from a Master. Impressionism typically involved painting outdoors and attempted to record the changing conditions of light and atmosphere as well as their individual sensations before nature. The impressionists used high key palettes and a variety of brushstrokes, which allowed them to be responsive both to the character and texture of the object in nature and to the impact of light on its surface. 

Students will utilize multiple art mediums including watercolor paint, acrylic paint, pastels, charcoal, etc. to create a painting in the style of the featured artist. For this series, Ashley will focus on Renoir, Cezanne, Vincent Van Gogh, and Claude Monet inspired style and guide you through a series of paintings by the artist, focusing on techniques and brush strokes and blending, as well as providing fun and helpful knowledge and lessons from the great masters themselves.

Getting into art is a fun and fulfilling hobby—especially if you’re full of ideas you’re itching to bring to life. But if traditional art classes sound a little too intense or structured for your vibe, we’ve got something different for you.

We get it: art classes can feel intimidating. The idea of sharing your work with strangers and being critiqued might be enough to keep you from signing up in the first place. And while putting yourself out there is brave (cheers to you if you do!), sometimes a little liquid courage can help ease those nerves.

Learning how to paint or draw can be rewarding—but let’s be honest, after a long day of work, juggling your kids’ school schedules and extracurriculars, sitting down to learn the fundamentals of color theory or brush technique might not be the kind of "relaxation" you're looking for.

That’s where Mindless Art comes in.

This isn’t your typical art class. It’s a low-pressure, chill experience where you can experiment with materials, play with techniques, and just… zone out. It’s not about perfecting a skill or creating a masterpiece. It’s about enjoying the process and giving your brain a break in community with others.

Yes, mindfulness—doing things with intention and focus—is great. But sometimes, letting yourself get lost in a mindless activity is just as valuable.

Come paint, play, and unwind. No rules. No pressure. Just art.

Your price includes a glass of complimentary wine from William Grassie Wine Estates.

"Master’s Series:  Impressionist Art" is a four session series in which we will fuse Art History along with duplicating a painting from a Master. Impressionism typically involved painting outdoors and attempted to record the changing conditions of light and atmosphere as well as their individual sensations before nature. The impressionists used high key palettes and a variety of brushstrokes, which allowed them to be responsive both to the character and texture of the object in nature and to the impact of light on its surface. 

Students will utilize multiple art mediums including watercolor paint, acrylic paint, pastels, charcoal, etc. to create a painting in the style of the featured artist. For this series, Ashley will focus on Renoir, Cezanne, Vincent Van Gogh, and Claude Monet inspired style and guide you through a series of paintings by the artist, focusing on techniques and brush strokes and blending, as well as providing fun and helpful knowledge and lessons from the great masters themselves. Come to be inspired and immerse yourself in the creative experience with us.

This is a 3 hour class and NO prior art skills are needed. I work with you to help you create an artistic representation of your beloved pet, or any animal you love.

After you register for the event you will need to send me a photo of your pet, or the animal you want to paint, one pet per class please. You can send it as an attachment to Ashley.worksfromtheheart@gmail.com.

The photo that you decide to use needs to be in focus, or as clear as you can get it, with good lighting. It is best if it is a close up of your pet, please crop it if needed to make sure that your pet, or animal, is the key subject of your painting.

RESERVATIONS ARE ESSENTIAL because I need to collect the images and sketch them prior to the painting day.

Register at https://www.worksfromtheheart.org/groupclasses

When we all meet to paint, you will be ready to go with your pet or animal image.

Once you arrive, I will work with you to help you select paint colors for your portrait. I will also provide some general instructions about painting with the paints, how to mix colors, how to use the different brushes, etc. I will also provide specific art instruction and guidance for your specific portrait.

The cost of the class includes all materials as needed to complete your painting.

Because I need to pre-sketch your portrait, and I have limited spaces available, there will be no refunds for no shows.
