Art Journaling

Here's some more art journaling inspirations- free to the public :)



I did the last 8 pages today on my deck- what a beautiful day, finally. It took us a while to get here....

We watched the movie "Radio" last night. It was really great, and now I've been thinking (well, I was thinking about it before the movie too....) about doing something with special education in college. Of course, our situation with mentally challenged people today is a lot different than then... But still.

So yeah...

Art Journaling 101

Art journaling is so much fun, I don't even know how to say how much I love it.

Basically, you get an hardback book (rather old, but not so old the pages are falling out) with a nice cover, and you paint/draw/make art in it.

I use Treasure Island, a nice but cheap copy that my mom got from a book sale a few years ago and has been sitting downstairs on the shelf ever since (no one has read it). It has a red ribbon for a bookmark, too, which can come in handy.

Here are some examples of my art journaling.



I also, as you can see, write little quotes, memos, or word pictures. Very fun stuff, I tell you. So I recommend getting a book and starting to paint/draw/make art. Be creative!
