Expressive Painting: Unlock Your Creative Voice

As a human rights lawyer, musician, and visual artist working with icons like Beyoncé, Serena Williams, Nike, and Apple, Laolu Senbanjo (aka @laolunyc) is no stranger to pushing the boundaries of creativity and culture. In an intimate, inspiring class like no other, you'll get a front row seat as Laolu shares the story behind his unique painting style, and provides a blueprint for stepping into your own power as an artist. If you've ever wondered how a self-taught artist becomes a powerhouse creator, grab your paintbrush, pencil, or stylus and step into Laolu's Brooklyn studio.
Documentary-style lessons explore:

• Breaking free from expectations to create the art you want to see in the world
  
• Drawing from personal history and heritage to develop a unique voice and style
  
• Working with different canvases, from shoes and clothing to the human body
  
• The power of artistic expression to connect, advocate, and agitate for change
  

Plus, go inside The Sacred Art of the Ori, Laolu's unique ritual for storytelling on the human body, and the subject of his hit TED talk.
Whether you're looking to break out of an artistic rut, experiment with a new medium, or just sit back and soak in inspiration, this class will expand the bounds of your creativity. By the end, you'll understand one artist's path to creating unapologetically, and have the courage and confidence to do the same-whatever that looks like for you!
