Notebook Prompts
/There are many days when I find myself staring at a blank notebook page without a clue of what to create. Our minds need a little push sometimes to get going. Here are a few prompts for you.
Choose a color and fill your page with magazine cut-outs in that color. Doodle or sketch using that color with any art supplies.
Fill your page with thumbnail sketches for practice. Fill your page with a large sketch. Sketch anything in your surroundings.
Write, sketch, and take photos to document your day. A simple list of what you did, where you went, and who you talked to. Take a few pics from your daily routine. Sketch your day.
Find a poem you like and glue it on some pretty paper. Put that into your notebook.
Find 3-5 magazine cut-outs and create a simple collage.
