It is also designed to teach easy ways to use materials and techniques so that mandala making and art journaling can become part of a daily, or often done, creative journey and joy. No art experience is needed. Mandalas and Art Journals A mandala is an image created in a circle. Mandala means circle, essence and container. There are many mandalas in nature: flowers, seashells and snowflakes are a few. Mandalas are also created by people with paint, sand, stained glass and other materials. Mandalas are used in many cultures and spiritual traditions to bring beauty, healing, inspiration and peace to those who create and view them. Art journaling is a personal creative record, diary and expression of thoughts, feelings, dreams, memories, inspirations and goals. Art journaling combines colors, shapes, images and words that express the range of life from deep desires and insights, to daily to-do lists. Art journals are usually created on paper with paints, markers, pens, pencils, stamps, and additional embellishments. Any material or medium can be used. The pages are bound in a journal or gathered together as a collection. Art journals and mandalas are as much about the process as the finished product. The process of creativity in making these personal art expressions is deep, enriching, profound, joyful, at times frustrating and always worth engaging in.
