This first in a series I will be running if for beginner and experienced Art/Visual journal-ers!! We will be swapping an art journal on the go, completing 3 pages then swapping, then with the journal we receive completing the next swap and so on. At some point you will receive a full art journal then get a new journal and away we can go again!! Please take part in as many or as few as you wish. I hope that the guidelines will mean everyone get a similar amount of effort put into their journal but it still has a large range of creativity in it. Step 1: either buy or make or use an art journal that u have that has been started by yourself( or someone else). Journal is it be approx 15cm x 21cm or A5 sized. each journal is to have at least 15 pages. Now pages must not be note paper thin, think cartridge, watercolour paper (at least 110gsm). The paper has to take mixed media applications :) Step 2: Complete 3 pages : Page.1 is a small bio -who you are and what u do, contact details of some kind, (either email, postal address, web site, swapbot, ect only put what u feel comfortable leaving) If you only wish to leave your user name thats fine as well. Page .2 Decorated in a way to showcase your art style, collage, paint, drawing, printmaking, or a mix :) text is allowed, and please date your page as well. Some prompts you MIGHT like to use in your page: 1.My day today. 2.A childhood memory 3.The most fantastic thing I can imagine is….. 4.My favourite story, my way 5.My “motto†6.My favourite animal and what it has taught me 7.My desk today 8.Layers 9.Complimentary colours 10.My guardian (person, animal or idea) 11.The future 12.Hobby 13.Show us your favourite art making, (u can throw something new in if u want as well) for example if this is your first art journal but you have always loved to knit: photocopy a knitting pattern and paste it in.. use yarn to tie-up the page, knit a page marker, photograph a collection of your knitted items and create a photomontage with them. Really the sky is the limit, have fun and create ïŠ so Pages 1 and 2 are a double page spread AND Now Page .3 can be anywhere in the book, Start a page!! we all know how a blank page can look so sad, so do something to a blank page, splash some paint, prime it, add a journal prompt, rub-on, stamped image, a magazine cut out.. whatever.. something to start the journal-er on their art making. *** Minimum requirement is that you have completed at least 6 type 3 swaps and been rated at least 4.85.**** Happy Swapping!! |
