I had a fabulous day on Saturday at the Falmouth Public Library. Conducting an art journaling workshop with twenty wonderful guests. We had a lot of fun, while creating some meaningful pages and celebrating "ourselves". It may sound corney, but the truth is, that we don't spend enough time and energy celebrating our specialness, our uniqueness. It is very easy to think of all the things we are not, or who we should be. And it is very easy to say to ourselves or out loud, all the critical negative things about ourselves. People and society seem to have a hard time saying good things about themselves. As if it is bragging or boosting. In the art journaling process the best part is nobody has to hear you except you. The art journal is your true and trusted friend. Your journal is someone you can share all your secrets, all your feelings and all your emotions. While having fun creating at the same time.
During our art journaling workshop we learned how to create background pages with decorative paper, paints and stencils. We drew, painted or cut out focal images to represnt ourselves An tied it all together with different words, statements and stories that celebrated our specialness. This process helps to develop self enpowerment, self esteem and personal beliefs. It is a wonderful tool for adults, teens, children, families and healing groups. I love conducting the art journaling workshops. I have the opportunity to meet so many new and interesting peoiple and share my day creating with them. I am looking forward to my next workshop which is November 9, 2012 at The Falmouth Art Guild. I hope you can join us. |
