JOURNAL ART "IT'S ALWAYS YOUR CHOICE": Journal art is created by closing my eyes and letting the pencil move across the paper. When I open my eyes and find the image(s), I add color. I also jot down any words or phrases that pop into my head. Try it!

2ND GRADE PROJECT "YOGI AWARD": April's second grade class in Illinois decided to use my journal art technique for their school project. The 2nd grade students created some wonderful pieces of personal art. CONGRATULATIONS! They all deserve the "YOGI AWARD"
