🌻🌻🌻Wild at Art Studio News! 🌻🌻🌻

Hi Everyone As a practising artist, art teacher and art therapist, this is what I know: "Within all of us is a silent language that reveals the truth of our thoughts, feelings and emotions far more fluently than words". These words coined by the Art Journalers Barbara Ganim and Susan Fox lead us beautifully into the world of Art Journaling which has been a very big part of my own life and artistic practice. An Art Journal can be a wonderful place to build, grow and experiment with that silent language! A place to use art materials with which to play and articulate thoughts as well as daily experiences, without words and without taking the shape of a conventional diary. Your journal can play a key role in enabling thoughts and feelings to be processed, setting up an arena for self dialogue and chatter.  It can grow into a place to source new ideas, grow inspirations, and play with the dreams that flow in and out of our conscious or even sub conscious mind.

My Art Journals take so many forms and contain so many threads, they are keepers of memories, of dreams, ideas and schemes. A collection of experiments, try outs, plans and musings.....I use Art Journalling as reflection, and a way to process my life and my day. They can be a way to treasure and savour some of the seemingly mundane moments in a day, which are actually often the most sacred. They can be a place to scribble, stamp and shout!

These pages have been created by Art Journalers in our current "Find your Voice Course". In our journals we have explored identity, developed a gratitude practice and devised ways to treasure some of the very small moments of each day, and invent ways to express those; we also have created secret ways to write our inner thoughts and used a variety of techniques to play with text, while using paint, stencils and collage techniques. In case you feel excited enough to leap in....the next 'Find Your Voice' 6 week course starts on 4th September, so why not come along and Find Your Voice!
