“Start where you are, use what you have, do what you can.”
I think that this quote can summarize this book, or at least the first 28 pages. Jeanne Oliver creates in this book a safe place for anyone. There is a total freedom and acceptation, indeed she introduces many tools that can be used; and she does not force you to use the one she likes. Art should always work like that.
Art Journal allows you to open up maybe? Or/and even to accept yourself?
For example the first project "Displaying your story" can be hard, because you have to do research on your past, present and future. And I think that if you do it right, you have to create art out of good and bad memories. For me the hard part was to find a way to convert my experience into a board and to accept it.
