What is art journaling? It can be lots of things, but we’re focusing on a combination of learning new mixed media arts and how to freely express creativity in a personal journal.
This isn’t about sharing anything in public – this is a safe place for learning and encouragement.
By focusing on trying to make a finished piece of “art,” we lose the most important part of our journey:
- freedom to play, to create
- to discover more about ourselves
- to find the courage to move past perfectionism
- to allow ourselves to discover our authentic creative selves
Right now, focus on the creative process, not the end product. Just try to make make beautiful {and not so beautiful} messes!
Use art journaling as a process to express yourself with no limitations, restrictions or fear.
You can do this!
Here is a wonderful video to help you understand what art journaling is and is not.
