Art Journaling – Week 4

Today’s class took us deeper into the creative process as we continued building on the collage backgrounds we started last week.

We added another layer of texture, pattern and personality using stencils, stamps and mark-making, creating little details and visual surprises across the page. Each layer added more depth and interest, while still allowing glimpses of the collage underneath to peek through.

For the focal point, we introduced a magazine silhouette image, which worked beautifully against our busy, colourful backgrounds. The strong, simple shape created a wonderful contrast and gave the eye somewhere to rest amongst all those delicious layers and marks.

It was all about building, experimenting and trusting the process — one mark, one layer and one happy accident at a time.

Another fun and inspiring week of art journaling, with each page becoming a little more uniquely ours.
