Say it loud and say it proud. <br /><br />Just wanted to say that what you wrote resonated with me big time. I was nodding my head and saying "Yes!" in my head. I even e-mailed it to a g/f because it's just so real and so true. Thanks very, very much for writing those words.<br /><br />PhinnyPhinnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17312999179284479744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-47313425793350286922009-05-12T12:37:00.000-07:002009-05-12T12:37:00.000-07:00Hi Mindy,

I don't want you to spend a ton of time picking the perfect image. The prompts are set up so you can do them quickly and not spend hours on them. (Though some students do like spending a lot of time on them-lol). I put up all of the painting prompts in advance. I put up the whole day's prompt-painting, collage and journaling usually a day or 2 in advance and longer if it is the weekend or I have to go away to travel and teach. The painting prompts consist of different ways to paint and layer colors, different ways to apply the paint, etc... The collage prompts are design ideas-different ways to lay out papers and focal images on the page. The journal prompts are a vast array of subjects and things that most can relate to-it could be anything simple from who is in the room with you right now to something more complex. NONE of the prompts relate to a specific day or date. For example, I don't set up a Christmas prompt on Dec 25th-it would be an anything prompt. I hope that makes sense. I have geared the class towards all levels and so that people can jump in using the materials and supplies they have on hand (4 pens is enough). If you have access to personal photos, color copied images, magazine images, junk mail, etc... then you have the stuff you need already. ;)<br /><br />If you have any questions, please email me.Kelly Kilmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07002300626700548709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-68919745505486781722009-05-08T21:36:00.000-07:002009-05-08T21:36:00.000-07:00This is a great page and if this is a current phot...This is a great page and if this is a current photo of Tristian he has grown so much. :) I love your journals and plan to head to my desk in a little bit to work on mine tonight.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16454250845191858913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-62300557834728302282009-05-08T21:19:00.000-07:002009-05-08T21:19:00.000-07:00Hello Kelly,

I have started preparing by collecting paper images I like, and 4 pens in my collection so far. whooohooo!<br />But do I wait for the prompts then go out and look for the images or should I just keep on collecting?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15701637249046987534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-29355190440870685042009-05-08T20:51:00.000-07:002009-05-08T20:51:00.000-07:00Hi Mindy-

Other times I use photos printed out onto photo paper from my portable photo printer. It depends on what I have on hand and what image I grab.<br />I hope this helps!Kelly Kilmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07002300626700548709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-1531055563518102702009-05-08T09:43:00.000-07:002009-05-08T09:43:00.000-07:00I love your journal and the colorfulness.I love your journal and the colorfulness.The Journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00548666978419775758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-90929802104243947962009-05-08T07:54:00.000-07:002009-05-08T07:54:00.000-07:00When you use photos in your journal do you print t...When you use photos in your journal do you print them on regular paper or photo paper?Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01796274007843696177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-16224053875952818002009-05-08T07:15:00.000-07:002009-05-08T07:15:00.000-07:00Hi Kelly,

Some pages never get finished but what I really love is when I go back to pages and add bits and pieces. They suddenly seem to lend themselves to an idea I have been mulling over.<br />I use my journal in different ways too-sometimes more as a sketch book and preparatory place for other work and sometimes more expressively of my ideas, feelings and observations. I am quite new to the idea of art journalling and what I love about it the most is its ability to be used as a tool, a place to get out all the things which do not quite fit anywhere else. I am rambling now and actually I am supposed to be working so better get on! <br />Can't wait to get started on my prompts! <br />SarahSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15941415622199071141noreply@blogger.com
