What is Art Journal Advent?

Art Journal Advent is all about mindfulness and self-care in December.

With daily journal prompts - from December 1st until the 24th - we encourage you to take some "time-out" by simply taking some time for yourself and your creativity. 

Our prompts are a wonderful mix of self reflection, mindfulness and creative fun!

How does it work?

Tamara and I will be sharing daily art journal prompts from December 1st til the 24th on our Instagram account @ArtJournalAdvent - see the full list of prompts below.

These daily prompts are an invitation to get creative. And yes, of course we realize that you have a lot on your to-do list in December... that's exactly why we would like to encourage you to take a short time-out each day for your creative play. Me-time amidst a busy and bustling December.

Here's how you can join us ...

Check out @ArtJournalAdvent on Instagram, where we will be releasing our daily prompts. Feel free to create whatever comes to mind. If you would like to share your page on Instagram, then please use the community hashtag #artjournaladvent2024 or #aja24 and tag us at @ArtJournalAdvent. We do try our very best to support the community (yes, that means you) and repost in our Stories.

Something new this year...

The Prompts

We are doing things a bit different this year. Due to popular demand, we've decided to share all of the #artjournaladvent2024 prompts beforehand. So here you go!!

Yes, we are aware that some days may turn into a total hot creative mess, while other days may not work out at all. Regardless, we would kindly ask you to handle this gesture of trust with tender loving care.

✨ Please keep in mind: THIS IS NOT A CHALLENGE. THIS IS AN INVITATION TO CREATE. YOU are the artist and YOU make the rules - especially in your art journal.

The Artists

Some creative inspiration for you this year... we're absolutely over-the-moon excited to let you know that we've invited amazing artists to share their unique take on a daily prompt at Art Journal Advent. In the list below, you can see which artist will be posting their interpretation of the daily prompt.

Get ready for creative community vibes from Art Journal Advent this December!

How much does it cost?

It doesn't cost a thing - except the time that you that take, which is an investment in yourself! "Me time" - more important than ever! 

If you have any suggestions or questions, please feel free to contact me at atelier@raspberrybluesky.com

Please keep in mind that you don't have to make an extravagant page and you don't have to do this each and every day if you don't find the time. It's sometimes nice to just sit down, take a deep breath and center your thoughts on the daily prompt. Whatever and however you choose to work with the daily prompts is totally up to you. 

We encourage you to check out the posts using the hashtag and connect with our world wide community.

Create. Connect. Share.

Inspire. Be inspired.

The Art Journal Advent community is a worldwide creative community. Supporting. Helping. And cheering you on!
