Welcome to my interpretation of the class led by Cristin Stephenson in the BADASS Art Journal Class. For this class as with the others I did 3 pages, one double spread and then two that came after that could either follow the same theme that I had worked with in the main page or be totally different.

For my main page below I started out with random shapes on the page, then as I thought about the late night conversations the song 'Dancing in the Moonlight' by Thin Lizzy came to mind
That connection with the moon, the music, and the sea also came in as well. My characters that came out on the page seem to want to go on an adventure, perhaps a Thelma and Louise type of adventure in a car on a raft on the ocean with the music blazing...and free.... who knows

Some times you have to take that leap of faith, not knowing how everything is going to work out. Some times we prevent ourselves from doing things because of fear. It is either we fear failing or we fear changing and things working out so we don't fit in our neat little boxes. Fear to laugh and be yourself, fear to say yes to something or no.

Listening to a speaker called Lisa Nicols she was talking about her life and saying that fear can paralyze you and that you should use it instead as your fuel to get you to where you want to go. We can sometimes fear using a particular art material, or fear that creative play because of what might reveal about you. You can put anything in there that you might be feeling fearful about, and think about what the worse that could happen.
It is time to let go, step out, step into but make that change! This page then came out of all of that, she chose to step out and be who she knew she could be, she stepped out and is 'Dancing' as well, not worried who might be looking or that 'its always been done this way' or about anything else that could get in the way.
Come join me next Friday and see how I interpreted the next lesson
