The Art of Tarot

Online Art of Tarot Class (Adults 16+)

💼 What is The Art of the Tarot?

This engaging online course explores tarot as both a visual art form and a rich symbolic language. Across one term, students will journey through the 78-card tarot system, examining its history, symbolism, and artistic evolution.

Starts July 23 @ 7pm Thursday Nights
2 hours x 10 weeks Online (ends Sept 24)

This class approaches tarot as a tool for creative expression, personal reflection, and visual storytelling. It is a guided art experience, a guided journaling practice, and an introduction to reading tarot—all woven together in an accessible and inspiring way.

This course is designed for beginners and hobby-level artists—if you can draw a cat with guidance, you’ll feel right at home.

Tip: As this is an online class, you’re welcome to share materials with a friend. However, each student must have their own watercolour journal.

Students will:

• Discover the origins and evolution of tarot imagery
• Explore symbolism and archetypes within the cards
• Experience a range of artistic interpretations across time and cultures
• Develop a personal Tarot Art Journal, combining mixed media, sketching, and written reflection
• Learn foundational skills for interpreting and reading tarot

  I am still in the process of putting this together so the price is just a guide.

Important:
Please do not purchase materials before the first class. We will go through what to buy and where to buy it, helping you avoid mistakes and get the best value. Also, keep in mind although the art equipment is not cheap the paints last a long, long time. I have had mine a few years now. I will let you also spread the payments so I suggest use the pay-in-4 Paypal option for the class payment. Then nothing more to pay till after the second lesson when you will need all equipment. In the first week you will only need the Journal and a drawing pencil , ruler and eraser. I am sure you have a pencil, ruler and eraser at home.

Basic Tools (from home)

• HB pencil
