Beginning Journaling
One of the fun things about teaching art is that you get your hands on a variety of media. Every few weeks you switch into something new. I've developed that habit with my own work as well. My personal preference for art making is paper cutting. Over the last couple of years I have also developed a love of pysanky (egg decoration) and 3D paper buildings. I do one of those for a few months, then switch into something else.

The first assignment was to take photocopies of your work and incorporate them into a journal page. This is my first attempt.

This turned out really fantastically, Jan! I like the colors in it too!!! I never got over to Strathmore to check out the class...maybe I still can.
Beautiful...just, plain beautiful!
Love it! Maybe I should have joined up for that, looks like fun. It was free right?
I am doing this class, too. I'm a bit behind, but am looking forward to catching up today. I've copied my pages and bought a new, larger journal for this project. I have set aside today to "play and create" as soon as I finish looking at blogs and have had breakfast. It'll be a fun day, I think. Love your journal page!
I love Pysanky! Please post some. I love the journal idea as well. What a great way to use the art you make in creative ways.
Wow I think your first attempt looks super!
