I decided to attempt an Art Journal page today since I had some spare time. I have not used collage at all for decades and I never use words in my art work so I decided to do both. In the spirit of the “journal” element of the activity, I decided to utilise words relating to my experience of immigration.
It’s not great, not great at all, but it’s a start and now that I’ve given art journaling a proper attempt maybe I can build on it to get better, more creative, less rigid in my approach.
I really like your journal page 🙂
Thank you. That is very kind of you. I have been creating art my entire life yet art journaling is very new to me. I usually work in inks and in a very graphic, controlled style so I need to get used to approaching creating with less intention and just going with the flow and – as you can see – mixed media is not something I normally do. I definitely have a lot of room for improvement.
