 Hey guys, we're back with some more simple kid-friendly art ideas and today We're gonna work on some art journaling if you remember yesterday. We did all of these little pieces right out of our scraps of paper with just crayons and pen and Then we ended up making some cards right that we could put a nice note into friends that were missing while we're you know Trying to stay at home and keep ourselves and everyone around us safe, right? Or we could send them to people who are sick in the hospital or something like that, right? So we made cards with some of them yesterday. I really like this card by the way Today I'm gonna show you something a little different you could do with those same pieces and I am going to do it in my art journal now art journal is a Notebook it could be any any any book That you do art and drawings Sketching painting anything like that in this is mine. This is not a blank notebook. This isn't actually an old calendar It could be a composition notebook something that you have at home It could just be a blank piece of paper. Maybe you don't have a book Just get out a blank piece of paper and you can work on that Use what you have we're trying not to go out right and buy anything new and We're trying to be safe and do what everybody is recommending, right? So these are just some pages that I have in here. I Have this piece of paint this page two pages that have some paint in the background And I've already glued down some feathers and things like that. You maybe have a blank piece of paper Maybe before you get started worth anything else. You just want to color with your pencils or your markers or crayons Put some color down. Maybe Take a pencil regular pencil. This is a this is a Mechanical pencil, but it's just a regular Graphite like school pencil and you could just make shapes and you could just do some scribbling You could do some writing And write about you know the frustration you're feeling about being stuck at home, right? And just make some marks on the background It doesn't matter what they are and then I'm going to take some of the pieces that we made yesterday and Again, I've just got our Elmer's glue. You could use a glue stick, which I actually have a glue stick right here I'm not sure which one I'm going to use right now, but I have them both out And I'm going to use some of our pieces and put a face on my page I'm going to use some of these pieces so I'm going to use my blue eyeballs and Blue isn't appropriate color because we're all feeling blue and a little bit frustrated and depressed about what's going on, right? So blue is a good color. So I'm going to just glue them down I'm going to get one of my popsicle sticks that I had yesterday and I'm going to use that to help me Push the edges down so things will stay in the glue, right? They'll stay glued down Put the eyes as far apart as I can on this page But if they're too and it being too close together for reality, that's okay. I'm not shooting for reality So I'm not trying to make a realistic face here. Okay, so I'm going to glue on my eyebrows And I'm going to now I'm going to put the eyebrows so the front part of the eyebrow Between the eyes is kind of up if you look in the mirror when you're mad It would be down if you are just calm It would be straight and if you're kind of worried or upset it would be up So we're going to put them up a little bit, right? Waste in the background is my family or the dog or somebody Well, just FYI. So we're going to put our eyebrows facing up We are going to grab one of our noses I'll use this one. It's right on top Put it on here about right there Put on some lips I have this arrow that happens to be the same color blue as the eyes I'm going to put it across the lips this way. Now my hands are all gluey So before I touch anything and get glue all over the place, I'm going to grab Paper towel or in this case a baby wipe and I'm going to wash the glue off now. We've got our face on there I have a white crayon. I don't know how well it's going to show up on here But let's find out because this is acrylic paint in the background. So Yeah, so it's not showing up very well, but that's okay How about if we use the black Pen now you could if you are old enough to use a Sharpie and you have mom and dad's permission You could use a Sharpie on this that would show up really well Otherwise just grab a pen ask mom and dad if there's a pen you can use And just you want to just scribbly You know draw the shape kind of hint at the shape of the face If you do it with Sharpie see it shows up a little better If you have a big fat, maybe you have a dark flat black Crayola marker. No, this is not a flat one. This is a Sparkly one, but this I bet this would work too Yep It's not quite as black as the Sharpie, but it would work. Okay then I want to put words and I have a lot of words that I cut out from different things But I could also just write words on one of my scraps of paper So put that aside and let it dry for a minute I'm gonna take my scrap of paper one of the ones same kind I used yesterday. It could be any paper and I'm gonna write words in this case I'm gonna write words about how I'm feeling right now about what's going on in the world, right? So I'm going to write Let me see let me see One thing I usually try to do is make sure I'm spelling my words right because I'm not sure that one's actually spelled right So we'll hang on a second. I was right. It has an E on the end Okay, so maybe you want to just write after you make your Picture on your page you want to just write I'm confused or you want to write I'm happy to spend time with my family or whatever you're feeling about what's going on right now That's what I want you to write to put on your page And that's the thought that I want you to have when you're working on your art journal page Yeah, so now I'm gonna cut these out Again, we're gonna use scissors, but I want you to be mindful if you're young of making sure you have appropriate scissors for your age and mom and dad's permission and if you're not old enough to use a pair of scissors Then I want you to have mom or dad cut them out for you, right? They can help you do the writing too if you aren't sure about doing the writing or how to spell the words That you want to write have mom and dad help you Now you can see I'm taking my sentence and I'm cutting each one of the words apart I do this a lot and I save words like out of magazines and newspapers to do this kind of thing with and we'll be working on Something that like that in a future video. So now I've got all my words So we're gonna push them to the side and bring our journal back and grab our glue and Start putting them down. You can find them all first. Where's that? I? Lost one already. Yeah, that happened Seriously, I lost one already I don't understand how these things happen to me. Let's see. Oh, it's because it's stuck to my hand Okay So I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna just glue them down In a kind of a way that kind of makes sense, but it's messy and makes messy sense You'll see what I mean real wait. I am Put the words down in the wrong order helps if I do them in the right order. I am feeling You already forgot what I wrote. It's a nice thing about Elmer's glue is it doesn't dry right away So if you do that you can pull it off There we go If you have some parts that don't want to stick put some more glue hold it down for a minute There now you could do more to the page if you want but you don't have to It can be as simple or as complicated as you want it to be. I think this is Just enough it gets my point across. I'm not actually on the verge of falling to pieces Let me put that out there. I maybe was a few days ago, but I'm actually doing okay and Feeling okay about what's going on in the steps that we as a family are taking so Anyway, that being said, I hope that You all are enjoying your time at home with your family and that you're having fun making some art Do some art journaling.
