Images

“We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are” Anaïs Nin

“So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet: ‘I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world.’” Matthew 13:35

Why Images?

How did Jesus uses imagery? Why not just use words? In this video we explore why images might be helpful in our conversation with God.

Sourcing images

Are you scared of the idea of drawing? Me too. However I’ve learned the joy of adding simple shapes to my page with paint or pencil. And the joy of mixed media is that there are lots of other options for adding images to your page.

Choosing & adding images

My favourite way to choose an image for my journal page is to flick through a magazine or two. Learn more about my process in this video and then have a go yourself…

YOUR TURN: Flick through a magazine or some marketing materials and ask God to highlight to you images that he wants to use to speak to you. Tear them out and stick them in your journal!
Don’t forget to share your pages and your thoughts on our facebook page.

Wow! You’re doing so well! You have now learned all about journaling, play and images- just one more ingredient left to learn about… and that is words.
