12 Art Journal Pages That Capture the Essence of Each Month
Posted by Amber Demien on Dec 17th 2024
One of the many wonderful things about art journaling is that it allows us to capture the moments of our lives. We can look back through a journal and see those memories replay on the page, whether depicted through imagery, color, words, or all of the above. The months and seasons significantly impact our daily lives and memories, and these experiences can be captured on the pages using universal imagery and motifs. As the New Year approaches, we thought it would be inspiring to revisit 2024 through the art journals we’ve published this year in Art Journaling magazine, compiling pages that beautifully embody the essence of each month. Enjoy!
