A Creative Pause for Peace
A Mixed Media Art Journaling Class for MLK Day
Create with intention. Reflect with heart. Paint a vision of peace, unity, and equality.
On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, you’re invited to step into a gentle creative space where art becomes reflection, prayer, and possibility.
In this special mixed media art journaling class, we’ll explore peace, unity, and equality through intuitive mark-making, layered textures, meaningful words, and simple yet expressive techniques. You’ll create one finished journal page or small canvas that reflects your own hopes for a more compassionate world.
This class is not about perfection or political debate it’s about creative expression, inner alignment, and honoring Dr. King’s legacy through intentional art-making.
You’ll experience:
- A calming, guided creative flow
- Fun, approachable mixed media techniques
- Reflection prompts rooted in peace and unity
- Freedom to interpret the theme in your own way
- A finished piece that carries meaning and heart
Perfect for you if:
- You love art journaling or mixed media
- You want to create with purpose and reflection
- You’re a beginner or returning to your practice
- You long for a moment of peace and creative connection
