Warrior Women Art journal class.

Leave a comment

Resist. Persist.

Warrior women who fought fiercely for their beliefs; women who have resisted and persisted in the midst of horrors; women who have valiantly forged new paths for themselves, and for us…

This class is for all women, in camaraderie and sisterhood. * We are struggling to hold our heads above the raging storm as our rights, our bodily autonomy, are very citizenship is threatened. As I do – I turned to my art journal to process, and to draw inspiration from those who have gone before me and weathered their storms…

So over the next 12 weeks, travel through time with me, from the Ancient eras to the present day. Each lesson will highlight a handful of women; some more “active” fighters, others more “passive” yet all passionate and courageous and remarkable.

New art journaling class: Girl Power!

Leave a comment

My original plan was that my Fall art journaling class would be themed for and inspired by Witches, in history and in pop culture. I have decided to postpone that class until next year, for a few reasons… wanting to dive deeper into my research than time this Summer allowed, and current events.

With the election ramping up here in the US – we are facing unprecedented challenges and division. As a woman, I am angered, horrified, worried, ( the list goes on) about the recent law changes and rulings that are systemically removing a woman’s body autonomy, her rights regarding her own body, her medical treatment, and her ability to make her OWN decisions. ( Don’t get me wrong – I am shocked and horrified about many things…) But it was from that female body, female perspective, and feminist outlook that this class was born.

Themed in colors, this class be inspired by the baby girl pink of Barbie and of Pussy hats. The Blue of the radical academic Blue Stocking society, and Suffragette white. We will close with purple, a suffragette color, and a color symbolizing bipartisanship. Here are my free flowing thoughts on the topic:

  • 4 lessons – 4 weeks. Lessons are emailed on Mondays – and include private video tutorials, and PDF’s of information, images, and inspiration. Your access to these videos does not expire! 
  • There will be 2 Facebook live demos – for  a chance to connect, have a Q& A session, see new techniques in progress. ( Recorded and posted in the FB group if you miss it) Dates TBA.
  • Schedule – START DATE Sept. 23th. First lesson Monday September 30th. Last lesson October 21st.  
  • Pricing: $45 – Invoices will be emailed via PayPal, and can be paid via credit card.

Art Journaling with Jenny: sparking creativity.

4 Comments

It started out as just me and the page in my art journal. It was an escape – a place to go play, express myself, collage, splash paint around… and be both distracted and soothed in the midst of a global pandemic. My art journal became a place where I could vent, but also a place I could go to elevate my mood, or take simple joy in art materials, color, image, text…

And then I decided to share it…

Well, my friend Patti (who became my co-facilitator for class) encouraged me to create an online class. We would meet via Zoom. I could film video tutorials – but we wanted an element of camaraderie too – a social interaction we were missing during “Safer at home” times. And thus “Art journaling with Jenny: sparking creativity” was born.

The first session was a learning process – for me – and also hugely satisfying. It surpassed my wildest dreams. Here are some student testimonials:

Jenny’s Art Journal class was amazing!  The presentation of techniques and pace of the class gave me time to absorb, learn, play and ultimately complete gorgeous journal pages – something I wasn’t sure I could do.  The safe space created by Jenny, as well as the camaraderie and community with my classmates grew as we journeyed together allowed me to open up, experiment and go places I hadn’t even imagined.  And finally, as a frontline healthcare worker, “taking it to the page” gave me a healthy release that kept, and continues to keep, me balanced, focused and feeling hopeful.  No kidding.  Ten thousand thumbs up!  Amy T

Jenny Davies-Reazor took me on an adventure into art play and art journaling in her “Art Journaling: Sparking Creativity” online workshop!  It was eye opening for me as I had never done anything like this in my own artistic journey. It was also very cathartic. She is very organized and willing to share everything she knows and truly gives a lot of herself and her time.  Not only did I enjoy learning new ways to play with art materials, I would get so engrossed in the process of creating that time would slip away unnoticed. Jenny is fun, knowledgeable, and is also willing to experiment in front of her students.  It lead to some happy accidents, which was encouraging for me.I am looking forward to her next class! Patti P. 

Are you looking for community, camaraderie, inspiration and fun? Look no further, you’ve found all that and more. Jenny’s class is informative: you learn different techniques, she walks you through her creative process and you’re introduced to new materials to play with and create. You become part of a very supportive group of people: you can choose to share what you’re working on or just soak in the process that your fellow participants are working through. This class was amazing.  I can’t say enough about it. I would give it all the “stars”.  Nikki T

Here’s a firsthand look at MY pages – and the “Hows” and “Whys” behind the class:

As I mentioned – the lessons are NOT drawing heavy, but instead utilize collage, and image transfer techniques. The materials list is provided after enrollment and includes links for online ordering… Each lesson is themed around a symbol or motif and its relevant meaning/folklore/mythology. My style of teaching encourages you to explore. I teach you the technique and show you possible applications. This isn’t the type of class where everyone ends up with a copy of the teacher’s piece… Its you, in your journal… with your preferences and experiences, and choices!

Interested? Here are the details…

Cost: $70 includes a packet of images ready to use in image transfers. ( send via USPS)

Duration: 6 weeks of class. Access to videos – no expiration.

Access to private class Facebook group: intended for sharing images of pages, discussion of techniques, etc.

Each lesson includes:

Monday – weekly email with inspirational PDF, links to private video tutorials.

Wednesday – FB live demo (recorded for any who miss it live)

And the “Spark” Zoom calls – introduction, mid point check in, finale call. 3 calls spaced over the 6 weeks. (Optional and recorded!)

Sparking Creativity will be available late Spring 2022 as an on demand class! Sign up for my newsletter to stay in touch!

  1. Send an email to me at Jen.davies.reazor@gmail.com with the subject line “Spark sign ups”. Let me know you are interested.
