Art Journaling

Inspiration

Art journaling is a vibrant and versatile form of creative expression that encourages you to blend visual art with personal narratives. One exciting way to dive into this world is by using and responding to prompts. Prompts act as catalysts for creativity, sparking ideas, and pushing the boundaries of your artistic abilities.

The power of prompts

Prompts are open-ended statements, questions, or themes that serve as inspirational starting points for your art journaling endeavours. They can be as simple as a single word, a thought-provoking question, or a more complex idea. Here’s why prompts are such valuable tools in art journaling.

Inspiration prompts offer a jumping off point for your imagination and can provide a spark of inspiration when you’re feeling blocked or unsure of where to begin.

Focus prompts help you narrow down your ideas and bring clarity to your creative process. They give you a specific direction to explore.
