Joyful
Art Journal Page - Amanda Trought
The word for the day is Joyful.
Think about how the word can be incorporated into the things that you do and create an art journal page linking the word.
Let's look at the definition of the word joyful -
- joyful feeling or causing great pleasure and happiness
- with joy great pleasure and happiness,
- a cause of great pleasure and happiness success or satisfaction.
Now how is it you feel about your creativity?
Can you find those pockets of feeling joyful or joy and think about how you can find those little moments in your creativity because sometimes you just don't feel like creating.
Sometimes you know you want to do something else but if you think about the creativity as a blanket so whether you going to your studio sear your table or wherever your space is and create something or write something or take a photograph it's all part creativity so it's all feeding you, feeding that 'well' that you can dip in-and-out of and grow.
