I have been following Julie Fei-Fan Balzer's blog for awhile now, and she always inspires me to do something that I may not have otherwise done. In this case, she is asking her readers to join her in art journaling everyday for 2011. Scary! While I know I can't make that commitment, I have decided to make the commitment to art journal 3 times a week for the next month.
What is an art journal you may ask. Defining that is a lot like defining art, something that's different for everyone, but the way I choose to interpret it is like this: An art journal can take many forms but usually is a book in which someone puts down on paper in a creative way whatever they need to express. Much like a "regular" journal, an art journal is highly personal, not generally something you might want to share with anyone. This is also a place to try out new things artistically. She has a list of some great examples of art journals here.
Yay! I'm delighted that you're going to be participating! We are going to have tons of fun!
