KEEP SCROLLING
Do you even know the Art Alphabet?
Learning to make abstract art is like learning a new language.
Just like when you are learning a new language, you need to know each letter of the alphabet first before you can ever dream of making words, let alone stories.
RIGHT?!
& then you need to learn all the composition rules to form sentences.
Think about it, every best selling novel is just an author transforming basic letters into a master piece!
& Abstract art is no different!
Stop waiting, now is your time to become the abstract artist of your dreams!
By the end of this course you will have mastered....
THE BASICS of Abstract art
You can't write a story without letters, and you can't make art without the elements of art: lines, shapes, colors, values, textures & forms.
When you learn how to manipulate these "letters" you are able to express your inner thoughts, feeling and memories in a new way that you could of never imagined.
The Daily Habit
Establish an unshakable daily habit of creating.
Become addicted to the sustainable dopamine hits that drawing brings your brain & the calming effect it has on your nervous system.
No matter what, you create art.
Not because you have to but because you want to.
Find your unique voice
The way we discover what we are truly destined to create can be found within our phone's camera roll.
Every photo sitting in your camera roll right now was taken for a reason.
Something within you was emotionally triggered to want to capture that moment in time.
You were probably feeling
PEACE, ABUNDANCE, LOVE, GRATITUDE, CALMNESS, & TRANQUILITY.
Now its your time to learn how to channel these elevated emotions into lines, shapes & colors.
And to begin to feel these elevated emotions NOW in the present moment.
By the end of the 45 days you will learn how to uniquely transform your memories into abstract art!
Clueless to Professional
It was only a few short years ago that I knew absolutely nothing about making art.
I knew I was crafty at heart, but was clueless when it came to drawing.
It wasn't until I went to art school and got a college degree in art, that the drawing thing finally clicked in my brain!
One day I was feeling the Chicago winter blues, and scrolled through my camera roll to find a photo I had taken on my trip to Greece the previous summer.
The memories of the sun on my skin, the salt in my hair, and the crystal clear water on my skin rushed back into my body.
As I kept looking closer and closer at the picture, I started to notice line & shapes I've never paid attention to before.
& I accidentally turned this new skill into my entire life's vocation.
Now I've made it my mission to show you how fun, relaxing & life changing creating abstract art inspired by your own memories can be!

For example: If you loved spending time in your grandmother's garden, go to your grandmother's garden and take photos of her flowers, of her, of her house, of the meal you have with her, ect.
Your art will always be an extension of your personal life experiences.
So in order to make good art & Land on an art style, you need to go live life!

Making Abstract Art Education Accessible & easy
I wish 5 years ago someone would have given me the permission to create whatever made me happy.
After getting a college degree in Fine Art & Education I realized that there was something majorly wrong with how art is being taught nation wide.
I had to spend over $30,000 on an art degree to learn all the information that I'm making accessible to you in Abstract Art Academy.
I believe that you shouldn't need to invest a fraction of your yearly salary to learn how to create abstract art & find your unique art style.
And that is why I decided to create Abstract Art Academy for you to learn the basics of art & find your voice as an artist for a fraction of the cost of a conventional university.
We have this stigma that the only fine art that is "good" and "worthy" is perfectly realistic.
And for so many of us we choose not to create anything because of the fear of making something "bad" or being judged for our inability to make our art look like a carbon copy of a photograph.
I am here to tell you that your creative superpower is going to come out of you when you surrender the need for perfection. When you allow yourself the freedom to make whatever lines and shapes your heart desires.
You don't need to know how to draw a perfect face, a flower or a landscape to be considered an artist.
All you need is courage to trust your hands to make fun marks, confidence in your creative spirt, and passion oozing from your heart!
You got this, and I'm here to guide you along your journey!
XO,
Christina
