The Flow of the River
Breathe into this lesson like the flow of water — and let your art evolve.
Taught by Kasia Avery
What if a piece of art never had to be finished?
In this lesson, you'll create your very own river of paper and fabric that flows out of your art journal. Using a variety of art supplies, you'll explore impermanence and the ever-changing nature of daily life.
This lesson is an exercise in letting go of the need for a perfect final result. You'll be encouraged to continue working without an end in mind — accepting that no piece of art has to be finished at one sitting, that art can evolve and change, and that the process counts far more than the result.
Warning — we will be breaking lots of rules!
One of the most loved Everything Art lessons of all time.
