Creative Canvas – Discovering Your Spirit Animal

Creative Conversation Topic: How do Our Creations Contribute to the world?

Art Project: Learn to draw and paint an animal of your choice using the Northwest Indigenous style.

Are you drawn to particular animals?
Do certain animals consistently appear in your life? Some Indigenous traditions believe that we are connected with different animals that will accompany us through life, acting as our guides and guardian spirits, and offering power and wisdom to us when we ‘communicate’ with them. These animal guides come in and out of our lives at different times on our journey.

I will be presenting a two-part art class: Discovering Your Spirit Animal. The first class focuses on identifying which animals you share traits with, and then creating a graphic image of your choice animal. The second part of the class students will paint a background and transfer the animal onto it.

You can attend the class either on Friday and Saturday, or Saturday and Sunday to complete the lessons.

During this Animal Painting Workshop you will:
Explore the world of spirit animals.
Discover the characteristics and meanings of the animals that guide you, and
Learn how to transfer images onto canvas and use painting design techniques.

Whether you are a dabbler of art or an experienced artist interested in trying your hand at creating an acrylic painting, you will enjoy this class.
