Art Journaling for Your Mental Health with Nikalola

What You Will Learn?

• Hello there! My name is Nikki Jouppe aka Nikalola!.
• I'm an artist from Montana and I designed this class for anyone who has an interest in art journaling, and who is intrigued by the idea of supporting their mental health with their art practice..
• I myself have had many years of mental health challenges and have realized how much creativity has helped me stay strong and balanced..
• I start the lessons with an overview of my favorite supplies, while emphasizing that ANY supplies you use are fine and even discuss using an iPad with the Procreate app..
• Some of the supplies I mentioned are linked here:.
• Class Materials Shown:.
• Spiral Mixed Media Art Journal.
• Cloth-bound Travelogue.
• Prima Marketing Watercolor Set.
• Pentel Water Brush Pens.
• Tombow Permanent Brush Pens.
• White Ink Pen.
• Washi Tape.
• Stickers.
• Envelope.
• Ribbon.
• iPad Pro.
• Then we will go through a few of my own art journal pages that have a mental health theme. I want to encourage my students to be free and relaxed about creating in their own personal art journal and focus instead on healing..
• Next, we will get a brand new book started: with stickers on the outside and even getting a few pages messy and ready to create on..
• We will do three exercises together in this class that I believe will be supportive to anyone, anywhere in their mental health journey..
• I hope that this class takes away some of the stigma of mental health and helps each and every student of mine..
• Special thanks to all my friends and family who have helped and supported me through my struggles and also encouraged me to teach on Skillshare!.
