What real students are saying:

This is a very valuable class to help identify goals and align your brain with ways to achieve more creativity in your particular mindset and/or situation.

I have really enjoyed this course. I've had a very low period of life and this course has really helped me evaluate where I am, where I'd like to be heading, and how. The exercises are helpful and continually motivate me. 

Thank you for presenting this information in such an easy-to-follow, step-by-step process. The bite-sized videos were a total joy to watch.

This class was extremely informative and opened me up to some of my own stumbling blocks with my art practices.

This course was fun and helped me discover new ways to jumpstart a new creative practice.

This is a self-paced course, meaning there are no live elements. Each lesson features a video and/or text to introduce the concept and there are exercises and worksheets to practice your skills. Students can go through the course at their own pace. 

Do I need a printer?

The PDF worksheets are intended to be printed so you can practice right on the pages.
