Art Journal

For the past few months I have been reading a book called The Creative Call with a friend. Which, if you are an artist I recommend and if you are not an artist I also recommend. It is a great book that explains how everyone is an artists (not just visual, musical or literary but this also includes cooking, gardening, photography, quilting, weaving, etc). Each person expresses their creativity differently and this book will challenge you in the area of art that you do best. This book as challenged me to start an Art Journal (the author of the book calls them day books, but I prefer Art Journal). Here is the cover and my first page.

I found a blank paged notebook at Universal and covered it with paper then with plastic to make it last a little longer. 

Here is my first page, I decided I would make some rules for how I was going to proceed with my art journal. I saw a layout I really liked so I took the idea and made it my own.

Goal: To draw or write in my art journal every day in 2016. Look for some art journal pages later this year. :)
