Yoga and Art!

Get your "Creative Fix" this month by joining Brandy Hunt and Lori Littlejohn as they combine yoga and art in a 4 week course that will be sure to get your creative juices flowing!

The course will take place at two of the newest coolest spaces in Creston, Buddha Vibe and the lounge at Creative Fix. Every Sunday night starting on Feb 16th we will meet at Buddha Vibe for an all levels, fun flow, yoga class of 45 minutes. Our classes will combine Asanas (yoga postures) and yoga ideology. Each week we will have a new focus or intention for the practice. Some of the topics will be: centering and grounding, being present, letting go of fear and ego.

Following the yoga class, we will walk a few short steps over to the new lounge at Creative Fix where Brandy will pour you a glass or two of wine and lead you through an art journaling class. Don’t worry, you don’t need to be an “artist” to enjoy this class! An art journal can be a record of your daily thoughts, a travel journal, a memory diary, a dream journal, a zen journal, a goal journal, or... well, almost anything really. What makes it an "art journal" is when you add any kind of illustration or embellishment to the pages. Students will be guided by Brandy in learning how to use the art supplies and will also be taught to unleash their creativity by learning some simple techniques to make art journaling fun and most importantly, easy! There will be a special project and tutorial planned for each week so you don’t need to fret about coming up with something on your own. Although, we encourage you to be as creative as you want to be!

During the last evening, we will explore the 7 chakras of the body and combine your yoga mat (covered with a sheet of canvas)... our bodies, and some body paint resulting in your own personal masterpiece. This yoga masterpiece can be taken home and hung on the wall as a beautiful reminder of the valuable intentions and practices you learned during this four week therapeutic journey.

This amazing opportunity includes: 4 instructed yoga classes, 4 instructed art classes (including all art supplies), and 2 glasses of wine each per night! At the end of the four weeks you will take home your own personal art journal, a beautiful personalized painting, some great new intentions and some wonderful new creative skills! Don’t miss your chance to get in...  space is limited, so sign up today!

Art Classes for Kids!

Here are the art classes for February.

Art Journaling - Ages 6-13

Students will learn how to create and keep an art journal. Art journaling is a huge fad that has caught on globally. An art journal can be a record of your daily thoughts, a travel journal, a memory diary, a dream journal, a place where you jot down your goals or to-do lists, or... well, almost any record that you'd like to keep in a book or notebook. What makes it an "art journal" is when you add any kind of illustration or embellishment to the pages. Students will be instructed by Brandy Dyer in this three week course, using all sorts of different mediums in their art journals. Art journaling is a valuable skill that the students can carry on with, month to month in on-going classes.

Artist Trading Card Club - Ages 8-13

Artist trading cards (or ATCs) are miniature works of art that are traded all over the world. There are no rules in producing these miniature works of art other than they MUST measure 3.5x2.5 inches. They are small enough to fit inside standard card-collector pockets, sleeves or sheets making them an excellent thing to collect and showcase to friends and family. Instructor Brandy Dyer will guide the students in this three week course in making their own collection of ATCs in various media, including dry media (pencils, pens, markers, etc.), wet media (watercolor, acrylic paints, etc.), paper media (in the form of collage, papercuts, found objects, etc.) The cards are meant to be traded or exchanged, so at the end of the month, we will get together with the other class, and the students will have an hour to trade and exchange cards with the other students.
