Create a Collection: Hone Your Artistic Voice & Style

Do you want to complete a cohesive art collection? This class will teach you how to create an art collection that shares your unique style and message.  This framework applies to any visual medium of your choice. Whether you're  a seasoned artist or just getting started, creating a collection is a great way to hone your artistic voice, develop your skills and style, and do a deep dive into your artistic passions. 

I will walk you through the process of creating an art series from start to finish, with lots of tips and inspiration. I also will share my own process of developing my Nature Spirit collection as an example.

1. Researching and planning your collection's overarching theme, identifying your purpose, and creating a mood board to set the tone and aesthetic 
2. Creating a cohesive set of artworks by honing your ideas, determining the number of pieces, and harmonizing the color palette, style, and format to communicate your purpose and vision 
3. Finalizing and sharing your collection with a name and descriptions, keeping it organized, & ideas for where to share your work with your community, other artists, collectors, and collaborators
4. Enjoying the process, staying true to your vision, and finding creative courage with a positive mindset 

By the end of this class, you'll have a solid understanding of how to create a cohesive and compelling collection that showcases your unique perspective and style. I'm so excited to see what you create!

Class Workbook: This class includes a downloadable workbook with summaries of the key concepts, blank space to write down your own ideas, a progress tracker, and resources. Find it on the desktop 

Class Resources: You are welcome to use any medium and planning systems to create your collection. My example collection was created digitally in Procreate, and designed to be shared online and on physical products like prints and phone cases. For developing ideas and organizing my files, I also offer examples of how I use Pinterest, Notion, and Figma.

*Please note, the art development portion of this class isn’t about how to draw, but rather how to make artistic choices that will build a cohesive collection. For in-depth guidance on drawing and the basic art concepts mentioned in this class, please check out my Drawing For Beginners class.
