Demo: Surrounded

Don’t have enough time for art? Let’s make another page together, a little quicker and easier this time but still beautiful and meaningful.

Part 1

Let’s get started with journaling some thoughts and feelings and adding collage. A calm, worshipful atmosphere emerges…

Part 2

Let’s finish our page with some images and words (and a bit more play!). After completing this page I was left with a feeling of being very safe and loved by God.

Now your turn:

Have a go at making your own journal page. Here’s three different options to try…

  1. You could try to copy what I did as closely as possible. Copying other artists can be a good way to learn art techniques.

    OR

  2. Use the “recipe” to create similar layers but use your own colours, images… and respond to what you notice turns up on the page

    OR

  3. Set a timer for 30 minutes and see if you can get at least 4 layers down. Reflect on your page & experience.

I hope you feel inspired by this demo to have some fun playing in your journal and let us know how you get on in our facebook group.

Now for a few final thoughts…
