I am currently participating in the on-line Brene Brown art/journaling class and courage is my intention for this week. It fit in very nicely with the multiple page layout that came with the cut out heart.
Another artist in one of the shows where I have work exhibited had tear sheets with photos of some of her paintings in a series called Slices of Life and part of that sheet is included here. The heart cutout and the Slices of Life idea work very well with my personal metaphors for things I have been grateful for in the last few days. Yoga and my beautiful yoga teacher are a frequent participants in my ongoing gratitude journey and appear across the pages. These have been some difficult days but I have so much to be grateful for. Thank you for supporting my journey.
Loved Brene’s TED talk! Worth the journal class?
I think it depends on what you are looking for. I’m not sure why, but I was thinking of it as an art journaling class. As an avid art journaler, this class falls a little short. However, it does provide an excellent non-artist approach to art journaling. I think if you are looking for guided introspection it is totally worth it. I loved her TED talk, too and one of my gratitude workshop students said she was loving the online class. I’m glad I’m doing it. Hope this helps!
