Journal page ideas:
• If you have appreciated a piece of art recently write a sentence or two about that, describe where you saw it and what it made or think or feel
• Write out a list of all the times you’ve seen animals in the wild; draw some of them
• Write out a list of affirmations about yourself, based on ways you’ve like to change your thinking. But make the believable, rather than writing: ‘I am inherently valuable’, which can be hard to believe, try out ‘I am learning to believe that I am inherently valuable’. It’s a step towards taking on a self-compassionate belief
• Write about a time that you have felt spiritually expansive, perhaps a time you felt connected to a wider system of Earth or humanity – if you can’t think of one, perhaps make up a visualisation about this experience
• Make a list of times that friends or relatives helped you, feel a sense of gratitude towards them, then on the other side of the page remember some times that you helped friends or relatives (this one is harder, but it does exist! And it doesn’t have to be the same people). Recognise that you are part of a community of care and feel a sense of peace. Help can be in many forms, try to think of times that you were shown compassion and showed others compassion.
• Write a thank you to the Earth for supporting you and all this life
• List of things you love about your home
• Write a list of things that you value about yourself
• Things you are grateful for today/in general – as you write pause after each thing, close your eyes and feel appreciation for what you wrote
• Things you appreciate about a friend or loved one
• Write out treasured memories – a birthday or a special moment with a friend or lover

1. I do a paper garden spread in my journal, every now and then I'll fold an origami flowerpot, or do a potted cactus out of paper cut outs, paint a floral arrange or potted plant using different paint mediums and then I'll add my plant creation to my "paper garden"
2. Another one I love doing is a series of windows or doors that open to reveal a painted image, a paper pop-up or even a favourite poem.
3. A spread on a favourite movie/book/series/poem where the spread contains art elements that represent it, a favourite quote or line from it and maybe a short paragraph about it.

One of my favorite video games, Animal Crossing, is getting a new game this month right before my birthday, and I had this cute little pastel themed sketchbook in my ever growing stack of blank books, so I decided to make an Animal Crossing themed art journal. I pick out my favorite characters, and then base the entire page around their aesthetic. It's been really run so far, and its a good way for me to practice placement, color coordination, and minimalism in a way? I'm still learning how to make things look tastefully cluttered without just overwhelming a page with too much.

I love how minimal and asthetic these ideas are ✨ have to try all of them!

[nadinek]

Helpful prompts, thanks! Another one might be - choose a specific era and create a page that represents it: ie the Roaring 20s, the 60's etc. You could research key dates during those time and illustrate those.

2:01 -for creative people, like you and i..
that was such amazing compliment to me...<3

[redbear]

Another Idea would be a journal spread about a favourite TV show and a favourite character.. example, Vikings and princess Aslaug or Ragnar or Lagertha.... Writing down everything you love about the character, the TV show, top 5 fav scenes... Things like that, anyway ... Nice video, it's nice watching you getting crafty and inspiring US with these ideas :)

Another way to decorate your journal is to pliuck a flower, and leave it in water for a while and then place it flat on an old book and close the book and leave ot there for a few days.After that, you can open the book and take the flower and paste it on a notebook and create your own Bontantical Journal!💐🌷

I use mini journals for my language studies - I make notes each lesson of the words I’m unfamiliar with then put them in the journal with maybe an illustration or stylised writing. It really helps and is cuter than flash cards.

[denajones]

So inspirational thank you for sharing.
You could add favourite colours, books (using same themes as your film 🎥) my mind is racing now. You’ve helped unblock my block.

[gardengirl]

Another idea is plan your dream garden!

[ellien]

You don't know how much I fricking love ur aesthetic/vibe!

[bigtimefans]

I started a new sketchbook without finishing my 6 other ones...but then again who does lol
one thing I love to put in my sketchbooks are collages! they're so therapeutic and you can definitely find anything lying around and turn it into "aestheticized garbage" haha

Jordan you should seriously try your hand at ASMR! Your voice is so soft and soothing that it always makes me so relaxed whenever I watch any of your videos! <3

[monisingh]

I am really jealous of your drawing, you actually draw really well.

[changchesserly]

Thank you so much for these amazing ideas. And thank you for your soothing, calming voice. Anything that helps keep me present and grounded has been valuable lately. Love you Earth Angel . . . 💕

[coraline]

This is the inspiration I needed! I haven’t touched my art journal in such a long time, because I didn’t know what to put in it. But I miss it so much and now I finally got some ideas! Thank you!

[afalara]
