Joyful
Art Journal Page - Amanda Trought |
Think about how the word can be incorporated into the things that you do and create an art journal page linking the word.
Let's look at the definition of the word joyful -
- joyful feeling or causing great pleasure and happiness
- with joy great pleasure and happiness,
- a cause of great pleasure and happiness success or satisfaction.
Now how is it you feel about your creativity?
Can you find those pockets of feeling joyful or joy and think about how you can find those little moments in your creativity because sometimes you just don't feel like creating.
Sometimes you know you want to do something else but if you think about the creativity as a blanket so whether you going to your studio sear your table or wherever your space is and create something or write something or take a photograph it's all part creativity so it's all feeding you, feeding that 'well' that you can dip in-and-out of and grow.

“Poetry is life distilled.” ―
Gwendolyn Brooks - Sadie and Maud
This week is the 2nd week of looking at the work of poet Gwendolyn Brooks, so today the poem that we are
going to read is called Sadie and Maud.
Sadie and Maud
Maud went to
college
Sadie stayed at home
Sadie scraped life
with a fine-tooth-comb
she
didn't leave a tangle
in her comb found every strand
Sadie was one of the
Livingest
chit in all the land
Sadie bore two babies
under her maiden name
Maud
and ma and papa
nearly died of shame
When Sadie said her last so long
her
girls struck out from home
Sadie had left her heritage
in her fine-tooth-comb
Maud who went to college
is a thin Brown mouse
she is living all alone
in this
old house
