4 lessons pack - 2h a week €50,-

Everyone has a story to tell, and sometimes it's hidden deep within. Embark in an intuitive process to expand your creativity and uncover your story. By "seeing the unseen," your artwork will reveal how everything is connected through a token that will last you a lifetime.

What is this course about?
During this 4-week online course, you will focus on creating your own personal totem drawing. Every lesson is a chapter where you will zoom in on one part, eventually combining it into a bigger piece. With guidance from Mirjam Manusama, you will explore how to manifest yourself through existing symbols, textures, and tones.

A totem can serve as a guide or representation of a being, family, or a social unit. Totems can feature many different designs. Within this course, we will focus on developing an artwork on your own interpretation.

Mirjam Manusama is an avant-garde fashion designer and visual artist. She is expressing herself and her personal experiences through an intuitive, creative process. Her self-awareness, eye for details, and understanding of symbolism is combined into this unique course, designed to help you find inspiration from within.

Through various exercises, tools and techniques, you will learn how to create your own totem piece. We will work with fine liner, ink, and blackwork as a fundamental starting point of your drawing. With a range of geometric shapes, natural elements, lines, and dotting techniques, you will start to embark on your own unique process.
