Art Journalling

Art Journalling:  ’A way to record what you are thinking, living and going through with a breath of fresh air that just screams YOU!’

I have been on a new adventure recently and have loved it.

It all started when I felt like I really was supposed to make my New Year’s Resolution to be to Journal more, but alas it is May and I still haven’t done very much.  I found myself getting bored of my own writing and found I didn’t want to make time just to sit down and make un-interesting facts.

Then I had a conversation with my friend, Madison, who is teaching Art Journalling.  It totally caught my attention and I asked her to show me her Journal and maybe teach mee a thing or two.  She told mee that my little kids would be great at it too, and after a lesson and some really excited kids, the adventure has begun!

Madison told us that there is only one rule in Art Journalling: Record the Date, after that there are no rules.  As long as you are creating and painting and adding things to your journal that is all about you and how you feel and how you got to the point you are now, then you are on the right path.

Here is a little video I created about Madison and her Art Journal

I have a feeling this is not the last time you will hear about Art Journalling. I think I am going to see if there are any other people around mee who don’t know they are doing it, but are. Recording things as we see them is all about what THIS VISUAL ARTIST loves to be apart of!
If you have any questions or know of someone who does art journalling if your area, let me know! I would love to hear your comments and stories!
Until next time,
Cheerio
