- On April 12, 2023 at 7 pm, in partnership with the Homer Township Public Library, the Lemont Artists Guild is pleased to present April Schabes who will demonstrate how Art Journaling is a fun and creative way to capture the wonderful and cherished moments in life. Just by jotting words, sketches, doodles or collaged media on the pages of one’s journal, a story can emerge and capture the precious moments in life that pass us by.
- Forever interested in all art forms, as a young adult, April studied at Moraine Valley Community College. She continued her studies by joining art classes and creative activities at The Center in Palos Park, IL. She also took a collage class at LaGrange Art League and Gallery in LaGrange, IL, in which she says about that class, “it won me over and became dearest to my heart.”
- April always loved working with paper, even as child, she remembers how much she enjoyed the art and play of paper dolls. She takes that interest playing with paper all over again as an artist and instructor! She presently teaches Collage and Art Journaling at The Center. She has always enjoyed journaling and making notes of her days and teaching this art to others is something she loves and finds fun and joyful!
- Attendees, please feel free to bring along your own sketchbook or journal to take notes and follow along during the program!
We hope you can attend this program which is
free and open to the public!
CREATE AND CHAT: ARTISTS MEET-UP
When: March, April, May 2023 on the 3rd Mondays
Time: 1-3 pm
Where: Homer Township Public Library (address listed above)
Artists of all kinds are welcome to join our monthly meetup group! Meet other local artists (including some from the Lemont Artists Guild), discuss what you’re working on, and spend time creating alongside others. Bring your current project or art supplies to find inspiration & start a new one! The group meets from 1-3pm. New folks – and all art mediums – welcome!
While this is not an instructional class, the gathering of artists can help inspire you and give you feedback or ideas on your own artwork. Or, if you haven't been able to create but want to start, join us and see what others are making. Seeing others create can be just what you need to get your own project started!
No registration required; just show up!
