I finished Lisa Congden’s Creative Bug class on mark making. All in all, I’d give the “class” a D. The idea was to fill 9” x 6” Bristol papers with different marks and sometimes compositions with marks each day—but then it led absolutely nowhere (I’m also annoyed that they held a live Q&A for her on the last day but didn’t allow everyone to join in or record it). Anyway, I ended up with a stack of papers that are too heavy to use for collage, so I put them on a ring for reference. I probably did expand ideas about kinds of marks I COULD use in my work—but all in all this class could have been so much better. Oh well!

OMG, I am struggling to finish this 30 day mark making class with Lisa Congden on Creative Bug—not because it’s challenging (time wise or creatively), but because it’s not challenging enough. Yet I persevere because I’m pretty sure there will be a payoff at the end. Two more days.
