Michael Bell - Visual Journaling
Michael Bell - Visual Journaling for Life's Sake!
Four exercises in visual journaling:
1 - Field Observation
2 - Memory walking
3 - Meditative Sketching
4 - Listing
The goal is that the artist is the storyteller. through practice and exercise, one can become adept at telling the stories inside. There also is some work suggestions for those of us who have some pain from the past to sort through.
Michael Bell is an incredible illustrator, evoking emotion with layer of paint and the use of exaggeration and expressive emotion. HE's also involved in art education at the secondary level (6th -12th grades). Now, think what we all could be if we had had teachers like this!
