Welcome to the July Art Journaling Challenge, Week 3. Our word prompt for this month is COURAGE.
What does courage mean? Courage is the quality of being ready and willing to face negative situations involving danger or pain. A close synonym is bravery. Showing courage is often thought of as facing such situations without fear, but it also involves facing them despite fear.
Some common synonyms of courage are mettle, resolution, spirit, and tenacity. While all these words mean "mental or moral strength to resist opposition, danger, or hardship," courage implies firmness of mind and will in the face of danger or extreme difficulty.
Courage involves taking action in spite of the fear you feel. It is the willingness to respond even when you have feelings of anxiety and worry. So, never beat yourself up or assume you are not courageous if you feel fearful. To be courageous means that you are able to act even when fearful.
Here is a Mood Board to help get your creative juices going:
My page:
I started by looking at what a courageous woman does - and this page came out of that thought process.
You can choose to do a single page each week, or do a divided template - one part for each week. If you don't have the Divided Template and would like to have it, you can get it here at Dropbox. Thank you to Ona @wombat146 for providing the template choices for us! If you do the template, we would love it if you would post it incrementally. Post one done in the first week, post an image of the two together on the second, and three on the third, and then the finished page on the fourth week.
Again - the template is NEVER a requirement to use, just something fun and different if you want to use it.
Everyone who participates in any of this month's challenges will be entered into a drawing for a $5 gift certificate to Oscraps. You can receive up to for entries into this month's drawing.
I can't wait to see what you have to share about the prompt COURAGE.
