Visual Journal Monday - The Finished Page

Every week of this visual journaling course I have learned something new about art and about myself. This week was the final step of creating the page, and after watching the final video, I sat down and started the project all over again. Here is what I learned from that experience:

* Sometimes it really helps to know what the end point is in order to get the whole picture.
* Just because it is being taught, doesn't necessarily mean it is right for you.
* Just because I'm not following all the steps exactly doesn't mean I am not learning something.

This is part of an ongoing process of discovering who I am as an artist, and where my artistic direction is heading. I am starting to get a glimpse of that, and I am excited to see where that leads. So here is the final version of the visual journal page I made for Pam Carriker's Strathmore workshop, and a sneak peak of a background for a new piece I am working on.

This background is the start of a new series of mixed media pieces, so starting now, Visual Journal Mondays are Mixed Media Mondays. That has a better ring, doesn't it?

Have a beautiful day!
