Art Journal Page - Save Me!

Did you ever have one of those cruddy days where you vent and give yourself a pep talk all at the same time?  I certainly did today.

I hate my Drawing I class....my instructor creates art using a ruler and "exactness"!!   She sucks the creativity and fun out of the wonderful journey of art making itself.  She's taught drawing for 15 years, but the unfortunate thing about it is that the student is always at the mercy of the bias of the instructor.  If they don't like your art....your mark can suffer!

I come away from her class feeling run over by a heavy weight, Olympic sized art critic that no matter what I do...my work will never satisfy.  I come away every class doubting my own creative processes, skill and talent.

Only a bit more time left to this semester, but I truly am struggling with this one.....SO I come home and delve into my art journaling and my creative juices are patched up temporarily until I go back and get another whack of criticism and dose of creative impudence.

I have added a new page to my blog -
"Art Journal Pages"

 My first Art Journal Page
