An artistic journal doesn’t mean you have to be a master painter or sculptor to keep one, as you can keep brief notes on anything cultural in one. They will provide a good release of creative energy while allowing you to preserve creative ideas. They are great for anyone who wants to express creative potential.
Although you don’t have to be an artist, I recommend keeping one for the artist to keep sketches, details of technique, and supply list in. They will help keep you on track and on top of what you are doing. Be scrapbook, diary-like, or sketchbook, remember it is yours and can contain whatever you want.
They are good for preserving memories of cultural events like concerts, museum showings, art gallery gatherings, the opera, or the ballet. You can include tickets, pictures, videos, and written accounts of the evening, again anything goes.
