Top Mindful Art Journaling Ideas to Inspire and Calm

Dear Wonderful Creative Y'all:

I've been looking back at what I and my students have accomplished in 2018. This twelvemonth, I wanted to spend more than time with you in "live" online classes. Nosotros did that in Jump, Summer, and Fall sessions of Diving Deep. Students in the Diving Deep classes worked really hard, learned to push their creative limits, and formed a deep, intimate connection to their fine art. Being a part of that process is an award I'll never forget. Folks enrolled in Fluid Art, Freeing the Muse, Art Journaling 101, and Small Creative Acts learned to make mini masterpieces with fluid paint, push button past artistic blocks, create an intuitive art journaling practice, and uncover their inventiveness with one modest creative act a day. Yous tin can see some beautiful pupil work hither and here. As always, I love to share the insights coming out of this customs to inspire you to create. Here's my top mindful art journaling ideas to inspire and at-home.
