Community Art Journal
The community art journal is a book turned into a journal that you can borrow. Some pages have been prepared for you to express yourself. (You can let everyone in your home do a page using their artistic skill or try a new technique.) When returned we will seal your pages so the book can continued to be loaned out and others can add to the book. We have links available on our Youtube page (link in comments) for inspiration but will also include some journal prompts you can consider when borrowing the journal. Writing, drawing, painting and mixed media are all welcome. We do not supply any materials – except the journal!
