Project Description: A daily art journal.
Objective: To challenge myself creatively on a daily basis, which I hope will increase my self-confidence in my artistic abilities and creativity. Also, I enjoy working on a small scale, and I can use the journal to put down and experiment with ideas that I may want to later reproduce on a larger scale.
Materials: The journal(s), anything!
Timeline: At a minimum, every day this school year, though hopefully for a full year and maybe even more! So, this project will continue through all of my other projects as well.
