What is Soul JournalingSM;?
Soul JournalingSM; is prompt-based, mixed-media, visual journaling, or art journaling. A visual journal is typically a mix of words and images, and mixed-media means that anything goes! We will use acrylic paint, pencil, markers, watercolor, found objects, collage and much more as a way of expressing ourselves and releasing our creativity in our journals. And Soul JournalingSM; is prompt based, which means that even if you are a beginner and new to the art world, you can easily participate with a series of instructions and ideas to get you started. All skill levels are welcome. Some of our best work is by our newest artists!
How did this all get started?
In the summer of 2008, mixed-media artist and instructor Sarah Whitmire published a series of 22 days of mixed-media and written journaling prompts on her blog, inviting anyone who read along to join in the fun. "I want these books to be a mess of words, color, collage, etc. I want you to be able to be totally free with these and use them to express anything you wish." The response to this project was enormous and Soul JournalingSM; was born.
