art journal pages

The point of these prompts is that sometimes we just need a swift kick in the inspirational rear when it comes to working in their art journals.

This time the art journal prompt focuses on words defined. Take a word definition and use it as the theme or focus of your art journal page.

Take your dictionary and define words. Words that are inspiring and
meaningful to you. Some examples: Dream, hope, energy, laugh, inspire, soul, love, believe, live, life, create, endeavor, purpose, artistic, etc. You can combine words; just be inventive.

Quantity: create TWO art journal pages and receive two back. 2 for 2.

Size of the pages: 5"x7"

Margin: leave a 1" margin on the left of the page free from embellishment. This margin is meant for binding.

Orientation: Horizontal Only!

Finish the back of each page you create, with your art or with patterned paper. State your swap-bot name, real name, the themes of the pages and the name of the swap on the back of each page. Nice is if you sum up the mediums/technique you used.

Art journal pages is a way to express yourself. But leaving pages white/gray of just slapping some paint on a page is too easy. So get it and be very, very, very creative. Keep the quality high!!

Any kind of cardstock can be used (please recycle; time is financially tough, so buying is not necessary!!), but of course it is sender's choice. On art journal pages water is a normal addition to mediums, so use scrap cardstock which is sturdy enough to carry the water layers on it. Please be sure that the cardstock is of substantial weight, because these pages may eventually be bound into a journal.

P.s: any ideas for prompts are welcome; just send me a message. I am willing to host.

Hello first time for this series of swaps and just wanted a bit of clarification, the page is 5"x7" originally and then after the 1" margin the page is 5"x6" true?

You've got it right! You can color, draw etc. in the margin itself, but leave this margin free from embellishment.
