Art Journaling: 10 Minutes a Day for 30 Days

Art Journaling: 10 Minutes a Day for 30 Days

by

Why Art Journal?

  • To improve your artistic skills.
  • To increase your art product knowledge.
  • To experiment with ideas and techniques.
  • To have a place to put all of those “art parts” — leftover bits and bobs from classes, experiments, projects that didn’t get finished.
  • To clear your mind.  And meditate with your hands.
  • To ensure that you make some kind of art on a regular basis.

This video is a snippet from this class and it explains why an art journal matters:

For almost twenty years, I’ve kept an art journal of some kind.  And all of those art filled pages are thanks to working in little bursts.

Even if you’ve taken my art journaling classes before, this class focuses on the techniques, supplies, and ideas I’m using right now.

I previously offered two other daily art journaling classes that follow a similar format – one in 2011 and one in 2014 – so how is this differerent?

  • It has been NINE years since I created, “30 Days in Your Junque Journal” and TWELVE years since I created, “30 Days in Your Art Journal.”
  • I have changed enormously as an artist. The techniques I use are different.  My interests are different.  My favorite materials are different.
  • I have grown as a teacher.  With more than a decade of online teaching under my belt, I’ve learned a lot and I am better at teaching complicated ideas.
  • I’ve learned so many things over the past 12 years.  I have more and new knowledge to share.
  • The way I use an art journal is different than it has been.  It’s more of sketchbook these days.

I’ve grown and changed a lot since 2011/2014 and so has my art.  My daily art journal has always been a cornerstone of my creative practice.  I created this class because I wanted to have a class that reflects where I am in my art journal right now.  A class that reflects the tools, the techniques, and the topics that are interesting to me right at this moment.

All of that said, my prices haven’t increased.  I always try to create great value for you.  This class is the same price as the one I offered in 2014.

Tons of content.
Lifetime access.
High quality instruction.
Abundance of inspiration.
An art habit that will last a lifetime.

Here are even more details:

  • There are 33 HD tutorial videos in the classroom.
  • Most videos are 10-14 minutes long.
  • Videos are mostly “real time” with minimal fast forwarding.  I narrate the videos as I’m working and share my thought process as I’m working.  You’ll learn WHY I’m making the choices I’m making.
  • Each video is followed by a list of bulleted “takeaways” for you. This makes it easy to refer back to the content in the video and means that you don’t have to take notes, unless you want to.
  • There is a complete supply list in the classroom, sharing what I’m using.  However, there are no required supplies.  The journal I’m working in is a readily available watercolor journal and all the supplies are pretty generic — acrylic paint, paint markers, stencils, gel medium, etc.
  • This class is best suited to students who know basic art techniques already — advanced beginner and beyond.
  • If you’re more of a super beginner, I recommend my class “The Two-Week Art Journal.”
  • This is very much a process class.  I will be encouraging you to take the lessons from class and do your own thing, rather than copy what I’m doing exactly.
  • When you sign up for class, you’re on your own schedule.  On the day you sign up, you can access the supply list and introductory post.  One day after you sign up, the first day’s lesson will be released to you.  Every day after that, for thirty days, a new lesson will become available to you.
  • You have lifetime access to class.  Feel free to return to your lessons over and over again.
  • Videos can be sped up, slowed down, paused, rewound, etc.
  • You can ask questions or leave your thoughts in the comments section of each lesson.

Student Feedback:

  • “I’ve taken your other two art journaling courses and loved them, but I think this one is my new favorite. My art journal practice has always been for making a finished page, complete with an intended finish and an Instagram post. But I don’t want to do either of those things anymore (which I’m not sure I knew before starting this new course). I want to have options: Walk away. Try this. Turn the page. Cover everything. What do I feel like doing? What does this page need? What did I learn today.
    You get the idea.” – Pam
  • “‘Is it a terrible idea? Awesome! Let’s go with a terrible idea.’ Haha. I love it. Just the opposite of what our parents taught us growing up. The class is great. I am gaining more confidence every day.” – Donna
  • “I really enjoy the reminder to accept the imperfections. That applies to so much more than art journals!” – Marybeth
  • “I enjoyed this lesson very much! Julie, your authenticity has always been something I admire about you.” – Michelle
