The theme I had for my art journal was to give permission to someone to stop doing something that they're suppose to do, but hate doing it. My art journal reads, "You have permission to stop doing the illustration Friday for Sea and to just take a picture of the Sea!". Doing this project I learned about how to use a bunch of different mediums as strictly just a background. For the backgrounds I used a stencil, bubble wrap, and tissue paper. The piece is successful because I took my task, which was essentially "stop", and had a quote about stop, along with the background forming a stop sign. If I were to do another art journal, I would focus on covering more space with the background and making the journal part more visible for those who are looking at it.
