Join our virtual workshop where we will learn how to use Canva, a free web-based graphic design program, to develop our visions for 2025. Vision Boards are a great way to visualize your goals and dreams. It is a collage of images, graphics, text, and colors that will inspire and motivate you toward a goal for 2025! Canva is a very low-risk, entry-level editing program that is used in many art classrooms for theme development and mood boards for project ideation. This media arts integration is really easy and fun! All are welcome! Maybe come with a goal in mind or workshop it with us. Maybe save or download some images if they are specific to your vision, but there will be time to create and use what Canva has to offer! Zoom Link here |

Hamilton Glass
Artist, Mending Walls, Richmond, VAHamilton Glass’s career as an artist stems from his architecture and design background. After working in architecture for 7 years, his passion for public art took over. As a Philadelphia native, public art has always been a big influence and inspiration to Hamilton because of its power to influence and inspire the surrounding community. Using his background in architecture, he creates images that reference architectural drafting practices, represented in the pieces’ sharp lines, scale, and balance. One of the things he enjoys most is creating multilayered projects that amplify many voices. |
