This video explores the fascinating connection between feelings and art, asking how we can translate emotions and moods into tangible creations like collages or art journal entries. I delve into the ideas of Leo Tolstoy, who pondered the very definition of art, and share my own perspective on how we can evoke feelings in others through our artistic expressions. I also answer a viewer question about capturing specific moods in artwork, using examples like "Dark Academia" and nostalgic themes.
The video offers practical tips on how to identify and capture those feelings, including saving inspiring images, creating mood boards, and gathering materials that resonate with your intended emotion. I showcase several of my own journals and collages, illustrating how I've incorporated elements like vintage photos, lace, and even financial documents to convey specific moods and themes. If you're looking to infuse your artwork with deeper meaning and emotional resonance, this video will provide you with inspiration and practical guidance!
I'm going to show you some examples of how to identify the feeling you are trying to showcase, how to capture examples of it, and then how to gather items such as images, photos, or even things like sewing notions and then use them to show a feeling or mood in your collage or art journal.
The three journals I show in this video are:
