Tear a page? Don't shed a tear! Sometimes accidents are the best way to find or do something new! In your journal rip a page randomly and make the remaining page into an image of your choice. Bonus points for making the torn piece into something as well!

With oil pastels the pigment is suspended in an oil-based medium. As we know, oil and water do not mix. When you use the two together to create art, it is called a "resist". In your journal create an underwater scene using oil pastel and paint the ocean/sea floor with watercolor.
No pen? No problem! Artists get creative with the tools they use to make marks. Each tool has a different effect. Tape a feather to your finger and try to write the following sentence:
"My fine feathered friends flew westward for the winter" and/or draw a gaggle of geese or a murder of crows. Even when using a material we feel confident with, like pencil, we need to practice and hone our skills. Complete the half-page worksheet on Pencil Athletics and glue into your journal. Remember to practice the process, technique or material for your mini project thoroughly before starting on your final project.
Create a pop up card on the next page in your journal by following the illustrated steps below. Many tutorials exist online if you're interested in furthering your knowledge on how to create pop-ups. Matthew Reinhardt is a professional pop up book maker who has become internationally known for his wildly intricate projects.
Found Poetry is a a poem created by taking whole words or phrases from other sources. Use a random book page to create a found poem; glue into your journal for credit. Tom Phillips is a famous found poet who began creating these types of works in the 1960s (image below). His most famous work, "A Humument" is filled with many poems created with layers of material. Austin Kleon is a writer and author of "Steal Like an Artist", he creates blackout poems using books and newspapers. Feel free to use the following winter themed drawing challenge list, the prompts inside the front cover of your journal, or something from your imagination to complete a drawing of your choice.
