An Art Journal is..like a diary where you can use not just words, but also images and colors to tell your story. Your art journal can be a record of ideas, the story of your life, memories, hopes for the future, random thoughts, things that make you happy, all of these combined or none of these at all! There are no rules, and the best part about art journaling is that your journal will reflect who you are no matter what you do to it.
Tomorrow I am teaching the art journaling class, which will be held again every month of the fall on a Sunday. In each class we will talk about different art journaling concepts such as using images to express ideas, and how to make your pages interact with each other. Also we will learn 3 techniques that you can use while making your art journal. If you’ve never done art journaling then bring a book or we can make one in the class, and if you already art journal, come share your experiences and learn cool new techniques to make your own. Keeping an art journal has been so beneficial for me, it’s where I store ideas, feelings and designs. Sometimes I will write one word on a page and sometimes I’ll spend 3 hours creating a collage. After a while you start to look back at all your previous entries and you realize new things about yourself!
Here are a few sample pages from my art journal-Hope to inspire you!
