This engaging online course is designed for anyone who wants to tap into their creativity and discover the joy of abstract art. Through a series of fun and informative lessons, you'll learn about the history and key concepts of abstract art, explore different materials and techniques like collage, mixed media, watercolors, and acrylics, and experiment with color, composition, and texture to create your own unique abstract masterpieces. Break Creative Blocks and Find Your Artistic Groove; Are you tired of staring at a blank canvas or a half-written page? This 8-week hybrid workshop rekindles your artistic spark, whether you're a seasoned pro or a curious beginner. We'll ditch the "inner critic" and dive into playful exercises that crack open your creative blocks. Forget rigid rules and "go-to" styles - it's time to explore! No artistic skill needed! Experience weekly zoom connections & self-paced exercises. Gentle Yoga provides a detailed and solid foundation for students who want to integrate a yoga practice into their lifestyle. No prior experience is necessary.

What Our Learners are Saying
We Found Our Curiosities!
From my experience with Sonia, the Founder of Akitsu Learning, her lessons and programs have had a profound impact on my son’s educational energy. We have both discovered a new-found love of learning, following our interests into the depths until we really get down to the details. I hadn’t realized how this would support his learning in other areas. AND he now takes everything with a new level of curiosity. I can’t wait to get my hands on her programs through this format!
