10 Sketchbook Ideas. How to Start Art Journaling.
How important sketchbook in artists life? In my opinion is one and only way to keep your ideas in order and track your creative development. Every artist (does not matter if beginner, art student or professional) must have sketchbook and paint/ sketch every day. Sketchbook is not only place where you are sketching randomly and use it only when you are bored. It must be used every day. So today I will tell you 10 main sketchbook development ideas if you are only started including sketchbooks in your art life. 1. Visual diary – the most easiest and common way artists use sketchbooks. Basically you are just writing your diary and including illustrations. Or as I suggest for my young art students – you must draw/paint at least 1 significant picture per day in your sketchbook. The most important thing what happened today. Try to remember the details and illustrate it. As well as that it can be self-portraits from month to month. 2. Experimenting tool – the second most com...
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. Same with art, people don’t want to start painting after 40-50 as they are convinced that if they did not do it before they don’t really have talent then why even try. I believe that everyone can start something new at any age. A lot of painters and musicians are started their careers at very late 40s. And there is nothing wrong with it. As long as you feel inspiration and need for it then go on. Years ago, people graduated from school, got a job and worked at the same company until they retired. Today, it's unusual for a young worker to stay at the same job for more than a few years in the first decade of their career. It's also becoming more common for workers to make a midlife career change, and completely switch gears after spending half of their adult life in the same industry. People want to b...

“The arts, as media of the imagination,
are disciplines which give form and substance
to our capacity to be who we are.
Each artistic medium embodies
the imagination in a
concrete and specific way.”
Stephen K. Levine
What is art
therapy and how this movement can help you? I am meditation therapist and my specialization
is art therapy. Using art I can read your emotions and feelings and help you to
leave all negativity and inner demons on the white paper. Art therapy is very
connected with art meditation. It’s a great way not only to understand yourself
but also to relax and renew your emotions through some easy art exercises.
Here are
some very powerful therapeutic and relaxing exercises which you can try to do.
Some of these exercises will help to understand you better, some will help to
remove negativity and another just to relax yourself and a little bit meditate.
- Make a zentangle. These fun little drawings are a great tool for letting go and helping reduce stress.
- Make a mandala. Whether you use the traditional sand or draw one on your own, this meditative symbol can easily help you to loosen up.
- Paint to music. Letting your creativity flow in response to music is a great way to let out feelings and just relax.
- Collage your vision of a perfect day. Think about what constitutes a perfect day to you and collage it. What about this collage can you make happen today?
- Build a "home." What does home mean to you? This activity will have you create a safe, warm place that feels like home to you.
- Create a past, present and future self-portrait. This drawing or painting should reflect where you have been, who you are today, and how see yourself in the future.
- Create a body image sketch. Practice life drawing to fall in love with all of the varieties of the human body, including your own.
- Create a collage of your worries. What worries you in your life? Cut out pictures from magazines to represent these worries.
- Make art that is ephemeral. Sometimes we have a hard time letting go, but this project will teach you that it's ok if something doesn't last. Use materials like sand, chalk, paper or water to create art that you will destroy when it's done.
- Create a motivational collage. You can hang this collage somewhere you'll see it every day. Filled with images you find motivating, it'll help you keep pushing on.
- Draw the different sides of yourself. In this project, you'll explore the different aspects of your personality, giving each a visual representation. You might only have one or two, or maybe even twelve.
- Build a personal altar. This is a highly personal project that will help connect you with your spiritual side and honor your resilience.
- Paint a window. Windows let you see in and see out. Paint yours with things you want to hide or show to the world.

wow, it is amazing.
These are great suggestions! I've started using 45 minutes every morning to do something creative, and I might ado in a few of these ideas! Thanks!
