Creative Journaling & Sketchbooks

Unlock your creative potential in this inspiring course, designed to help you establish a daily practice of journaling, sketching, and self-expression. Perfect for anyone eager to tap into their artistic flow, our Creative Journaling & Sketchbooks Classes focuses on blending words and images to create meaningful, reflective journals that tell your unique story. 

Throughout this drawing class, you’ll explore the therapeutic power of creativity, learning to overcome creative blocks and build a sustainable sketching or journaling habit. Begin by experimenting with different materials such as pen, pencil, watercolour, collage, and ink, then dive deeper into mixed media, layering textures, and integrating text with imagery. 

From abstract expression to expressive journaling, you’ll find new ways to visually represent emotions, thoughts, and ideas, charting your creative journey and setting goals for future artistic growth, along with the tools to continue nurturing your creative practice long after the course ends.

No Venue

All City Academy tutors are experienced professionals from theatre, film/TV and performance industries. So whilst they're training you they may also be rehearsing for a West End show or working on a movie. We like that and we do believe it makes a difference in class.
