Digital Art Journaling

Earlier this year I completed a fabulous Digital Art Journaling class. The class took me outside of my comfort zone and introduced me to a new way to express myself artistically. While the class is done, I am excited that we are being provided with a weekly prompt in the general forum at jessicasprague.com.

Here are the layouts I completed during the last few weeks. I continue to include the same three basic elements in each of my layouts (heart, sheet music and bubblewrap) and am currently using the same background papers as a starting point. I may venture out and change this as I continue, but I do like the idea of having continuity in my album.

This prompt was serendipity and I was not quite sure where I was going to go with it. Over that weekend, I vacationed in Chicago. In an effort to get out of the bitter cold in the downtown area, I slipped into the Art Institute. I was literally brought to tears when I discovered paintings from my all time favorite artists -an unexpected and pleasant surprise is an understatement. Wish I lived there - this could sooo be my happy place

This past weeks prompt was meander.....I immediately thought of my girls following in my footsteps and the love of wandering along the shorelines at the beach - aimlessly going nowhere and enjoying the peace and quiet of the morning.

If you have not attempted art journaling, I encourage you to check it out. There are many great resources on the internet and the inspiration is never ending. Whether you try this digitally or using mixed media from your craft studio - it is a wonderful way to express yourself.

till next time...enjoy your day....by the shore....
