Yeehaw!!! In celebration of Bean Up The New Art's new studio space -- ultra-conducive to fun, visiting, learning, creating, all things art-ing -- we're trying something new: hosting a class that will be taught by another local artist.
Voila!
On Saturday, March 10, wonderful Marilyn LoRusso (who you might know on Twitter as @fun_master) will be teaching a Vision Book Workshop.
And here are all the deets, straight from Marilyn herself:"Join me for a FUN art workshop where you will begin to create a Vision Book using the altered book collage method. A Vision Book is like a Vision Board, only in a book! This way you can carry it around or move it from room to room easily in order to gaze upon its pages and enjoy its images and messages. You can include anything in your Vision Book . . . images and messages that make you feel good and inspire you, places you would like to visit, activities you want to try . . . anything! Your imagination is unlimited."
"I will provide instruction on how to prep your book, different collage methods, and tips on how to make it beautiful. You will leave with two-to-three pages completed, and ideas to continue your creative and fun Vision Book journey."
"I will provide all the materials you need, such as:* Books
* Magazines
* Beautiful papers and ribbons
* Rubber stamps and stamp pads
* Feathers
* Glitter glue
* Colorful sparkly gems
* Markers/oil pastels
* Glue sticks
* Scissors
There will also be complimentary tea and cookies to munch on as we create! You are welcome to bring some of your favorite images and old magazines.
And the fabulous mixed media collage artist, Tamara Holland, will be on hand to add to the FUN!" [Aww. Thanks for that, Marilyn!]
And here's Marilyn's bio:"Marilyn LoRusso is the CFO (Chief FUN Officer) at FUNitude HeartQuarters. She believes it's all about your FUNitude and raising your FQ (FUNtelligence Quotient). For Marilyn it is all about feeling inspired and focusing on the best in any situation . . . feeling good, no matter what. Life is supposed to be FUN. When you add a sense of FUN to any situation, it transforms the experience for you and everyone around you!"
"She writes the column "For the LOVE of Kids" for The Patch on-line news site and has published a series of e-books entitled, "Celebrating Children: Conversations With Kids." She has been an arts and crafter her entire life, has taught art classes to children and now wants to spread fun, joy and art to children of all ages."
"Marilyn has a B.S. from Northwestern University, and M.S. from Columbia University, and an F.S. (FUNMaster of Science from Life University. She is currently working on her Doctorates in FUNology from Eternity University."

Ooh, this sounds like a fantastic class. I love the many wonderful uses you're putting the new studio too. And okay, I admit it, I'm jealous, can I move in??
There is clearly a need for an artist commune :)
