15 list prompts for your art journal
I am a big list maker.
I am also a big journaler.
So what do you get when you cross lists and journals? A very happy Roben-Marie, that’s what.
Aside from keeping your life organized, lists are a great thing to add to your art journal spreads.
Many of my students struggle to bring the journaling into their art journals - the actual writing part, I mean. And one of the tips I give them is to incorporate lists onto their pages.
These don’t have to be shopping lists, or to do lists, or lists that you would actually use. They could be lists of your favorite things, or lists of your dreams and thoughts. The idea is just that you take the pressure off yourself, and write down a few words.
These words could be covered up completely by paint or collage. They could form part of one of your journal layers. They could even become the focal point of your page. That’s up to you.
