ART START

Making art is one of the greatest joys in my life.  There are no rights nor wrongs in the art making process.  Some of my best works have developed into striking pieces due to a happy accident.  It is intentional that I have not provided you with images.  Just go for it!

You may also enjoy reading the Broad Dream Notes and my introduction to Art Therapy.  Several of the Art Start exercises suggest that you journal the work.  The Broad Dream Notes are the format I use.  If you have a preferred method already established, go forward.

Take this group of starter exercises to get your gitty-up going!  I would love to hear about any adaptations you have, and images would be even more lovely.  I'll keep you posted when I add more to the group.

Create the life you want!
