Choices!: • Did you ever accidentally or on purpose draw in the margins of your textbooks? That never went over very well with my teachers and they sure didn't call it Art Journaling! • Did you know Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) carried a visual Journal with him at all times so he could record ideas, impressions, and observations as they occurred? • In his Journals Leonardo kept quotes from people he admired, plans for inventions, pages about anatomy, botany, and geology along with his own drawings and paintings. Today we still have access to 7,000 pages of his Journals!! That tells you how important keeping a Journal was for Leonardo! • You can learn a lot from someone by looking through their Art Journals - life lessons, art principles, interests and words that the journaler finds poignant. Artists have always kept sketchbooks and art journals. Within the past few years Art Journaling has become widely accepted as one of the perfect places for play and self-expression without judgment. It's also a fantastic way to leave a legacy. Reading my mom's Journals is a treasure that I wouldn't trade for anything. She didn't include art within her Journals, but she left her thoughts, observations, bits of wisdom and things she was grateful for - all in her beautiful handwriting. Her handwriting, with its perfectly formed letters, is an art form all of its own. • When Art Journaling became popular, companies began manufacturing Art Journals of all shapes, sizes and paper types by the dozen. When perusing an art or hobby store, you'll find shelves lined with ready-made books and journals as well as aisles filled with supplies to create your own books. • When you're looking at all the choices and trying to select the perfect Journal, think about what you like to do. • Do you want to use your Journal for writing with some added pencil or pen and ink sketches? • Or, do you prefer wet media like watercolor or acrylic paint or markers? • Or, do you want a Journal that can stand up to gluing ephemera and collage goodies? • Choosing the perfect Art Journal can be overwhelming, for sure, but I'll help you eliminate confusion so you can go right to the fun part - coloring in the margins and on the pages and on the cover, too. • Can you keep a secret? When this class is over you might find more than one perfect Art Journal. You might even need more than two! • Let's get creative and pick the perfect Art Journal (or two or three).
