Art Journaling
Live Online Sessions
Creative Community
Dedicated Art Time
An art journal is more than a visual diary—it’s a space for reflection, creativity,
and self-discovery.
Each week, we explore a new theme with thought-provoking prompts to help you process, express, and connect through art in your own unique way. No rules, just creative freedom!
*If you’re signing up on the day of a session, please email us to make sure it’s still running.
How It Works:
Weekly Theme: Each session begins with a word to reflect on, plus writing prompts to help you get started.
Journaling: We spend 5-10 minutes writing about the word, letting thoughts and feelings flow freely.
Creative Time: Then, we transition into creating art based on the word. You can interpret the theme however you’d like. Tabetha be works on her art alongside you, and is there to help if you get stuck or want feedback.
Sharing (Optional): At the end of the session, we come together to share what we’ve created and talk about our interpretations. Sharing is encouraged, but never mandatory—it’s all about enjoying the process!
Community: While we create our art, we often talk about the topic and about our lives.
You’re free to use any medium that speaks to you—paints, pencils, markers, collage… whatever feels right in the moment! This is a supportive, judgment-free space for creativity and exploration—there are no wrong answers in art.
Some Art Supply Ideas To Get You Started
Art journal
I use a 9x12 mixed media pad like this one, but you can use any book with medium to heavy paper. You can even use an old reading book, or writing journals. Mainly the paper needs to be heavy enough to stand up to paint.
The main event is the journal itself. Beyond that you can use whatever you've got.
Paint
Acrylic, watercolors, guache
Brushes
Use what you've got.
Images
To cut out and collage. You can take them from magazines, print ads... whatever you've got! Not all images have to be whole - some will be cut up for the color or a pattern in them.
Other collage ephemera
Old letters, stamps, wrapping paper, wine labels, receipts, tissue paper, bits of foil.
Glue
Mod Podge, Elmers type glue, or a matte or gloss medium. Also, glue sticks are nice, but not absolutely necessary.
Mark making tools
Pencils, markers, pastels... whatever you've got!
Paper towels or rags, a palette or paper plate, and a container for water.
If you need help choosing art supplies, here's a little video I made on the topic (I made it for a different course, but some of the supplies advice is the same):
