Create original abstract art that truly is an extension of YOU
If you can say "OH, YAH THIS IS SO ME" to any of the following statements, that means ABSTRACT ART ACADEMY was made specially for you.
✨Growing up you always loved creating something magical with your hands. Like literally anything you touched turned to gold. You loved baking cakes, solving puzzles, making bracelets, knitting scarfs, you name it you did it, and you LOVED It.
✨You feel like your creative gifts are now being wasted and you aren't living up to your truest creative potential.
✨There is a burning curiosity in your heart that keeps tugging at you. A curiosity to see what you are seriously creatively capable of.
✨You fear that your whole life is going to pass you by without you discovering what your unique creative talent is.
✨Or maybe you have tried taking drawing seriously before, but gave up on it because the drawing never turned out like what you imagined it to be like in your head.
✨You try to watch reels and tik toks to inspire you to create your own art but just end up feeling more lost and confused.
✨You would do anything to be able to confidently show off your amazing works of art with the entire world and live out your dream of claiming the identity of an abstract artist.
If you said "yes" to any of those statements, you're in need of a major creative intervention.
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....
no. 1
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.
no. 2
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.
no. 3
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!

01. You're tired of trying to find your art style out all on your own.
The free youtube or tik tok videos just arn't cutting it for you anymore.
You're over trying to puzzle piece together the answers you need, are are ready to invest in a formal art education to deepen your knowledge and expand your mind!
-
02. You're not afraid of putting in the work
You know that good things take time, and that you will only get better with practice.
You are willing to commit time and effort on a daily basis to expand on your skills, trust in the process, and you know in your heart that it's inevitable that one day you will be creating amazing & original abstract art!
-
03. You realize that there is no "perfect time" to start & continuing to wait is not the answer.
You've been putting off your creative dreams long enough now. The calling in your heart that is telling you to create keeps getting louder and louder.
You know that now is the time to actually listen to the call, and start doing something about it!
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
