Morning Art Journaling

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.  Marcus Aurelius Before we will start discovering what Morning Art Journaling is and why it’s important, let’s find out what is just normal morning journaling and why is it trend nowadays? Morning Pages are one of these things that sound so simple that you don’t think they could ever work for you. One of the things that I have realized in life is that many of the best things are really simple but our complicated minds want to tell us they won’t work for us. What is Morning Journaling? Morning Journaling is a process of creating three pages of longhand, stream of consciousness writing, ideally done first thing in the morning. There is no wrong way to do Morning Journaling– they are not high art. They aren’t even “writing.” They are about anything and everything that crosses your mind– and they are for your eyes only.

Start New Career in Art | Alexandra Novik-Khamis

I am very often hear that people don’t feel like to start something new at pretty old age; especially if all their life they have been doing totally different activities.

Creativity as a Spiritual Process | Alexandra Novik - Khamis

It wasn’t that long ago that having a son or daughter who expressed interest in becoming an artist was considered a parent’s worst nightmare. But today, many parents are encouraging of their children’s interest in art. And I am as an art mentor should guide them into art world and bring inspiration for young future artists.  There are many options available to help nurture budding talent, but sending a young artist to expensive private lessons isn’t necessarily at the top of the list. Yet, when I see the new undergraduates show up at my art studio, there are some who have gotten an undeniable head start above their peers. For me art education is not only teaching process but rather creative process which inspires students. One of the main goal for me as an art mentor is to bring knowledge together with joy of creative process. First of all students understand the basics of art techniques in chosen field. And then when they know the rules they can smartly break it. Art process fo...
