Kick-Start Your Art Journal (Part 9)
Wed, September 16, 2009 at 06:00AM "For a sailor to sail around the world,
the thought is just, sometimes, too much.
Thus, one simply goes from port to port
in the same direction."
~ Hal Moore
<Logo Love> Design a page around a personal logo. It could be a logo you design, a symbol that makes you think of yourself, your initials, a monogram... Ideas at 60 Beautiful Logo Designs for Design Inspiration.
<Go Linear> Pull together color & images with one rule: straight lines only. No curves of any sort, not even curved letters!
<Simplicity Deluxe> Get out a dictionary and paints or colored pencils. Set a timer for 3 minutes. Open the dictionary. Turn to page 173, left side. Select a word defined on that page. Select one color. You must select the word and the color before the 3 minute timer beeps. Use only the word (or any variation thereof), the color (including ephemera of that color), black & white on your page.
<Sandwich> Use ephemera, cardstock and your own writing or typing to build a flat, layered sandwich from bottom to top (as in the sandwiches Dagwood built in the cartoon Blondie) on your page. Alternate prompt (a prompt within a prompt): build a pyramid on your page.
<Map> For your page, draw a map of something which is not typically mapped. The grocery store, your daily commute, your favorite restaurant, a bowling alley, your bathroom, your spice drawer. Devise silly or inventive names for things or areas within the map.

I'm loving this set of prompts! And the quote at the top is just what I've been looking for to fill a certain empty spot on a page I made a while back! Thanks!
