1 Saturday, April 18, 10:00 am - 12:00 p, Ignite your Creativity: Getting in touch with your inner child Taught by Jamilyn Ambrosky, 18+ $34 Member / $37 Non-member This class will explore what it means to connect with your inner child and how that connection fuels creativity. Through discussion, journaling, and hands-on creating using crayons, markers, and paint, you’ll experiment freely—no perfection, pressure, or prior art experience required. We’ll end by sharing your artwork and the story behind it in a supportive space. Bring a journal or notebook, student decides the size, as we will create right in our journals. This class is perfect for anyone looking to: - Reignite creative joy - Push past self-doubt or artistic “blocks” - Tap into imagination through playful expression - Reconnect with lost parts of themselves - Build a deeper creative self-care practice Students provide: A journal or notebook (we will create the art right in your art journal) size of journal is up to the student. They can also feel free to bring any other materials (gel pens, pastels, stickers, colored pencils, etc) This class is about process rather than the finished product, it is my hope that at the end of class students will feel inspired to create create and keep crea The Newark Arts Alliance will retain a $5 cancellation fee if a student withdraws from a class.
