Art Journal - The Creative Way To Express Yourself

-

 Art journal






As an artsy and crafty person, I love making random crafts. On an unrelated note, expressing thoughts

is important. I personally love being creative in whatever I do. So I try to inculcate my creativeness in all

daily activities. Be it a simple school project or an art/ craft project. The best way to express your thoughts

while being creative is an Art Journal.


An Art Journal is a kind of sketchbook where you make a collage of any topic that comes to mind. You can

make this kind of collage daily or weekly. I personally prefer daily. 


There are a variety of topics you can make a collage on. Be it a random quote which you like, your

favourite T.V show, anime, a movie you like. ANYTHING. If you are starting out like me, I started with

some random quotes which I saw and liked. 



You don't need to have a lot of stuff to start an Art Journal. A simple Notebook, Some scrap paper like a

newspaper or magazine and a glue stick and you're good to go. 



If you want to make one page themed after your favourite T.V show, you can do that too. You can either

print or draw anything related to the T.V Show and you can get some cute pages


The personalization of an Art Journal is entirely up to you. It's a good step towards Expressing your creative

side and also expressing your thoughts.for example If you are in a cheerful mood, you can make a page

based on some warm colours like yellow or orange. I made a blue one the other day to match my outfit.

Hehe.


Benefits of an Art Journal:

Now I have been giving you so much advice, you must be thinking, “Why should I do this?”. I have an

answer to that. There are a lot of benefits to start an Art Journal,some of which are listed below:


  • Keeping an Art Journal can help you improve your creative skills while clearing your mind.

  • It can help calm yourself down when you are agitated

  • You can keep track of your progress over time

  • It also helps you sort out you thoughts

  • It can also help you keep track of your best memories.

I know that everybody doesn’t necessarily like doing this creative stuff, So some other ways to express

your thoughts and a guide to them are listed below:

  Bad Morning. It’s time to dress up. Drag yourself to the bathroom. Wear that hideous and ill-fitting uniform. Pack your bag. Head out with Ma. It’s result day. Every atom of your body is nervous. Your mind is only revolving around the worst-case scenarios. “Did I perform well enough in History?” “What if I fail, and Neha passes? Or worse- she is the topper and I missed it by a mark?” “Why can’t my papers just disappear?”   Hello, and welcome to the nightmare of every Indian teenager ever! That was my situation on Saturday. Result Days are always nerve-racking experiences. It’s the same kind of anxiety you get on the day of the exam, except that this one has wilder fantasies. Why is that so? Because marks are a dominating factor in an Indian’s lifetime. The numbers determine your future. Your value is lies within those numbers.  Now, when you look at it from an Indian Aunty’s perspective, this system sounds quite fair. The able ones go ahead, get what they deserve, beca...

Bharatanatyam

  Photo Credits There are many forms of art. Like drawing, painting, dancing, and many more. Talking about dancing, which also has many types, the one I most enjoy is Bharatanatyam. I began Bharatnatyam almost 5 years ago. When I started It was a brand new concept to me. I was really eager to learn it all and get it right. I love to attend dance classes. Even during the pandemic the dance academy, I have joined, is taking classes online. I once asked 2 or 3 schoolmates if they danced or not, 1 of them did but she told me she got bored after six months. There I was thinking about how could a person get bored of such a beautiful dance form. I mean everyone has their opinions, I agree, but I always used to question that. Anyway, the first 2-3 years of Bharatnatyam are spent learning the basic steps which are going to help build the steps for the dance items we learn (I don't know if this is true for all dance academies but this is how I am learning). Then after that, we learn the basi...

Exam Season

E xam. What do I tell you about it? The moment I hear the word exams I can feel all the previous classes’ exams rushing around in my head. The nervousness, the books, the learning, in short, the EVERYTHING. The “Exam Season” here is the month of September and October. But the nervousness starts the moment we receive the scary-looking exam timetable. My Mid-term exams ended just last week, and trust me when I tell you, it was tiring, it always is. You think you would get a break after it, but unfortunately, I have classes till Diwali.  Exams are almost always stressful, but that doesn’t mean you can’t tackle them with ease. I am a fairly good student in terms of studying, but I still struggle (everyone does, trust me). I am currently in class 9th and honestly, after the 25% reduced syllabus of class 8, the full syllabus for class 9 seems A LOT.  In this blog, I will be giving you some tips on how to tackle this exam season and tell you some stuff I learned from the recent exam ...
