CbMixtapes are playlists made of specific bits taken from different classes and grouped together by a common theme. It's a fun way to learn how one topic is approached by a variety of artists with different techniques, all rounded up in one curated mixtape.

Drawing and painting backgrounds is a low-stakes way to brighten up the page. Work along with Lisa Congdon, e bond, and Courtney Cerruti as they paint, draw, and print backgrounds. From multicolor motifs to abstract swaths of color, the resulting pieces can be used for backgrounds, collage, art journaling, and beyond.
