Creating and Drawing your Personal Mythology

VAWAA artist and Spanish illustrator, printmaker Iria creates surreal works of art mixing elements like human bodies, anatomy of wild animals, nature and literature icons. Her creative world is inspired by the magic of “Wunderkammer” and writings by Lewis Carroll, Mark Twain and Jules Verne.

Join her on Sunday, June 7, at 10 AM EDT, to create and draw your personal mythology. And then use art as a therapy to channel your emotions and create fantastical stories on paper.

We'll start with an introduction to Iria's creative method to identify our emotions and transform them into surreal drawings and illustrations. We'll go over basic drawing notions, essential materials, and the process behind some of her drawings. Then, we'll learn how to pull elements from our unconscious, archetypes, and dream symbols to create our mythology and stories. All levels welcome. Limited to 20 participants.

We'll reconnect 5 days later for 60 minutes, on Friday, June 12th, 12:00 PM EDT, to share our drawings, learnings, and feedback.

What you'll need
