Because of the extensive time Lyric spends on each student, enrollment will be limited to less than 10 students.

Join Lyric for these weekly LIVE virtual lessons! 

Commit to spend these weeks transforming your understanding of design and composition.

Transform your vision and understanding of art as you delve into the basic alphabet of the visual language. 

Kick-start your creativity and learn about the basic Elements of Art through a SERIOUSLY INFORMATIVE, IN DEPTH and INTENSE (but still very playful) study of composition.  

Gain an understanding of how the elements of texture, shape, line, color, and value function in a composition.

Learn why some colors fizz while others explode, why some quilts or paintings calm and some excite. 

The Elements of Art are the building blocks for every piece you create. It doesn't matter if you consciously think about each the elements as you create or if you design intuitively from start to finish. Every single work of art you see and create is made of various combinations of texture, shape, line, color, and value. They are the basic five-letter alphabet of the visual language.

The Elements of Art is one of my favorite classes to teach. It's fun like kindergarten playtime, but also a SERIOUSLY INFORMATIVE, IN DEPTH and INTENSE study of composition. Gaining an understanding of how the basic elements of texture, shape, line, color, and value function in a composition, can be life changing for an artist, especially if you are not formally trained. If you have been to art school, this refresher is presented in such a clear and easily understandable way that you will feel you are learning it for the first time.

Being able to articulate and understand what you already intrinsically know can help you to see your work, and the world, with new eyes. It can help you move your unique vision from your mind out into the world where you can share it.

There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning. -Jiddu Krishnamurti

Whether you have a formal background in art or are completely self taught, this course is something you can truly benefit from. Register now as enrollment is limited.

The more you contribute, the livelier class will be. Lyric will give thoughtful feedback on each student exercise posted. This platform provides a safe space for a lively and sharing creative community to explore without judgement and competition.

Just like in a live classroom, you'll be able to see your fellow students work and discuss how things are going. You'll get encouragement and instruction from Lyric on all the work you post.

Supplies consist of things you already have at hand so you won't waste time or money shopping for things you might not use again. The most important supply you will need is an adventurous spirit and a willingness to explore, grow, and play as you learn to see and understand the visual language.
