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!.
