Class Notes:  this class will assist you in developing a variety of ideas for creating greeting cards.   You do not need to come in with any experience or abiities, both the experienced and inexperienced person is capable of designing some awesome cards.

Class Description:  This class will provide inspirational ideas and fun techniques that you can use to create a broad variety of greeting cards. You may create cards that fit a particular holiday event (such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, the New Year, a Birthday or Anniversary) There is no end of the  reasons for wanting to create a special card to gift a person that is an important part of your life.  Working on a small surface (such as that a greeting card) is a very liberating activity; you do not face the sometimes overwhelming blank space of a canvass or large sheet of paper.  Sherry will encourage you to use mixed media  (paint, colored pencil, pencil, etc) to add to the appearance of your creative choices.  You may be using glue stick and pieces of paper  to that card and will enjoy the freedom of using a variety of items to make your art. Each week will add increasing excitement as you develop a series of greeting cards.  Class will meet downstairs in the original art gallery buiildihng, in the AAV Creativity Center
