Description

Starting an art journal is fun and easy – this workshop will get you started creating with wild abandon in no time! What is art Journaling? Simply put, Art Journaling is a visual diary--it's record keeping combined with creativity! It’s a place to record your thoughts, memories, and emotions through images, art and words. The number one rule about Art Journaling is that…there are NO rules. Art journaling allows us access to new knowledge and understanding about our feelings and the type of person that we are. Combining art with keeping a journal doesn't have to be complicated, by taking time to art journal (just 15 minutes a day or even just an hour a week) your life will be enriched abundantly. Art journaling creates a deeper sense of self-awareness, empowers us, inspires us, encourages us, and can move us in powerful ways. A few of the many benefits of art journaling: Eases the stresses of life by getting the chaos inside our heads down on paper Allows us time in the "right side" of our brain, where creativity reigns supreme and problems are more easily solved. The artsy stuff makes every day different, which keeps us motivated to record our stories, feelings, and ideas. We can "see" our own thoughts. Sometimes, when we read back what we've read, we'll gain instant insight as to what we need to do to move forward in a particular situation. It's a creative outlet, but it's also a very productive one, journaling is a very important part of the human experience. Helps us learn to enjoy the process of creativity instead of stressing over the outcome. Bottom line, art journaling is relaxing and fun. And that is something all of us could use right now.
