I don't know if y'all realize it but we are coming up on the end of the year. I am not sure how it's going to be 2024 already. Am I the only who feels like 2023 has moved so fast and so slow at the same time?
For this week's challenge, I don't have a mood board or a lot of quotes. But I do have one important quote.
(The unexamined life is not worth living. -Socrates. For those using a translator)
For this week's art journal challenge, we are going to do a bit of personal reflection. For those of you looking for some direction on exactly what that means, here is some information from the Reflection App website.
"Self reflection is taking the time to think about, meditate on, evaluate, and give serious thought to your behaviors, thoughts, attitudes, motivations, and desires. It’s the process of diving deep into your thoughts and emotions and motivations and determining the great, “Why?” behind them."
Here are a few journaling prompts to help get you started.
Here is my page.
Remember, for the art journaling challenges you can create any style of page. You get to decide what art journaling means to you. It can be a traditionally artsy page, clean and simple, pocket style, junk journal or something else. That is up to you. This would be a great challenge for including a photo of yourself on the page.
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 four entries into this month's drawing. Remember, you have all month to complete any or all of this month's challenges.
