What is a Creative Journal: Explanation, Examples, Inspiration and More!

Описание: The Art of Creative Journaling
Creative journaling is whatever you make it. It’s capturing your day/week/month/year/trip/life in any shape or form whether it’s a doodle, a quick written note of things you did, a photograph, a collage, a color, a detailed sketch, etc. It’s putting down your memories, your adventures into a journal (typically a book - real or digital if you prefer but could also take on many other forms) that you can look back at and relive the experiences. It’s capturing the way you see the world through all your senses and by any creative means you feel appropriate or want to explore. It is a process for you and by you. It is your hand, your creativity, your artistry, your expression. You can keep it for yourself, share with loved ones or share it with the world. You can make it by yourself, or create a shared experience and make one with another person.

There are no rules to a creative journal, you just have to start somewhere and begin.

I’ve been keeping some type of creative journal for over 45 years - some were in the form of a diary (yes, like the one that had a lock and key), some were hand written notes on various papers. Some I kept in with my daily calendar, and many are in the form of some type of sketchbook. Like I said, creative journaling can be done in a wide variety of ways- and using a wide variety of techniques, but in the end, they are all some form of creative journaling!

Clearly I’m a big believer in keeping a creative journal, and through my courses, retreats, and community want to share with you how to keep one yourself!

So keep following along and let’s get started!
