Jump Start Summer Art Journal Experience
Purpose: To help you connect with your inner artist!
What is an art journal? Artistic pages where the art speaks as much as or instead of words. Create beautiful backgrounds. Doodle, color, paint, paste, create with wild abandon! Silence your inner critic. There are no wrong choices. Enjoy!
Starting July 4 and continuing to August 26 for a total of eight weeks.
Guidelines: You only have to make to an entry of two pages per week.
Each page has a prompt. They are as follows:
Week 1 - The theme is you
- Your Hand and five things about yourself - Theme is “you”
- Three words - make it as simple or complex as you like
Week 2 - Theme - journey or adventure
- Tape layers - put as many pieces of painter’s tape (purple is best), color or paint over it. Take off tape bit by bit and color or paint in the open spaces, take off more tape and color or paint, etc.
- Decorate a page incorporating an envelope. Continue the theme of the page with something inside of the envelope.
Week 3 - Theme calm or serenity.
- Use your favorite color or color combination.
- Use a shape repeatedly.
Week 4 -

Week 5 -

- Journal about things that scare you.
Week 6 -
- Journal a scene about your favorite fairy tale or children’s book.

Week 7 -
- Use a found object to decorate a page. Any way you like.
