January 29, Friday

Journal Day
Supplies: watercolor in tubes, watercolor palette, black oil pastel, copy paper, scissors, glue

With quiet reflective music playing - follow these directions:
  • Choose a color from the watercolor palette that matches how you feel about the music and paint the double-page spread
  • Use the copy paper and cut some shapes from the paper - geometric or organic
  • Using the shapes you have cut out, place them anywhere on the page. Use a dot of glue to hold it in place
  • Listen to the rhythm of the music of a few seconds.
  • Using the pastel, make lines across the page in a rhythm that reminds you of the music. Make visual music. (Be careful not move the cut paper you have glued down)
  • When complete with the lines, remove the paper shapes
  • Using a black pen, find some space to write about the experience. How did you feel at first? When did you get into the rhythm of the music?
