Do you walk into a stationary store and see piles of sketchbooks and swoon? Do you love nothing more than the feel of a fresh page waiting to be filled? But do you also have stacks of those same pages waiting for when you feel the moment is right?
We’ve got good news… the moment is now. Join local artist Lisa Sears for this accessible, friendly art program: Everyday Creativity! Commit to a sketchbook with Lisa Sears.
Start a new habit–a good one! — pick up a sketchbook and get creative. You’ll get to experiment with different, easy to come by art materials to explore a new sketchbook and get your creativity flowing. Lisa will help you with hands-on prompts, ice breakers, visual inspiration, and creative conversations to start you off on your artistic journey. This program is for adults and young adults over 16. It is perfect for anyone who needs to slay some self doubt demons, or just needs a reason to spend an evening learning something fun and creative. This is also the perfect way to kick off an artistic habit and build the skills to keep practicing that habit in their everyday lives. No artistic skills are necessary to start, creativity is a practice and this is a great way to start.
Participants will receive a brand new sketch book as part of the class. You will also have the opportunity to try out that sketchbook in a special bonus class on Saturday, May 24th at 2pm in the Converse Art Galleries of the Malden Public Library

The artwork by Edward Cardini will be on display throughout March.
Edward describes his work:
My art is a dynamic interplay of various techniques, combining elements of realism, impressionism, expressionism, and post-cubism.
Through my art, I aim to create a visual journey that fascinates and resonates with the viewer, inviting them to explore the depths of color, contrast, and composition.
