Travel Journaling for Everyone with Dawn Buckingham

Professional artist, Dawn Buckingham, will guide you through creating a travel journal or visual diary of a past or recent adventure. During a recent trip to Italy, Dawn kept a travel journal documenting the places visited, things she experienced and the memories that she wanted to save.  The book is somewhat like Urban Sketching meets scrapbooking meets journaling.  This class is appropriate for all levels.

You will begin by organizing a trip or experience using photos, flat memorabilia such as ticket stubs, maps, and photos that you bring to class. Dawn will share collage and simple sketching techniques using permanent ink and watercolor pigment. You do NOT need to be an artist! All of the supplies, including a mix media journal will be provided.

What participants need to provide:

Memories – This can be flyers, ticket stubs, printed photos, or anything that you might want to include in the journal. Also, have photos on your phone or tablet that you can use for reference to create small drawings. These do not need to be well composed. You might decide to draw only the lamp post from a photo. Glossy magazines from the area or brochures from places that you visited will also be great.
