Expression is at the foundation of our art, and we can find many different creative ways for that expression to be visible. Let go of the idea that it has to take a specific form or be what 'others normally do'. It is coming from you, and it doesn’t have to be pretty. It just needs to be your truth.
Let go of polish and focus on truth-telling through color, line, and texture. It doesn’t happen overnight, but it is a practice that you commit to.
What are you holding right now, it could be emotionally, mentally, spiritually? Pour it onto the page this is not a performance it is for you. Let the work be raw, real, and uncensored.
What you can Try
- Make a page that expresses a strong emotion or truth you’re carrying today
- Use color to represent mood, create marks, writing, or found words.
- This is your space to show visually how you feel to vent or celebrate. Cry on the page, laugh, sing or whisper.
Expression is not about art that’s understood, it is about art that feels.
Takeaway Nuggets:
- Expression is healing even when it’s messy.
- Your page can hold what your words cannot voice.
