Frequently Asked Questions

I don't have any experience with art, but would like to try. Is imPROMPTu Studio really for someone like me?

The short answer is yes! This is the perfect low pressure place to try making some art and learning about common art materials. The goal here isn't so much a pretty spread, but a meaningful experience. So, no matter what happens on the page, it's sure to reflect something of personal value.

I'm afraid I won't know how to start. How do I deal with the blank page?

Not to worry! Before you even arrive, I will have drawn the first imPROMPTu prompt. If you don't have a direction in mind, you can always be inspired by the prompt. I can also help you with ideas for jump starting the art journaling process.

What are imPROMPTu prompts and how do they work?

I have created a deck of prompt cards inspired by SoulPage elements, art journaling methods and techniques, and my own travels in the realm of psyche, myth and symbol. For those who want to let go and let Chance map their studio session, every 20 minutes I draw a prompt to guide the visual journaling process. imPROMPTu invites you to experiment and play.

Will I have to show my work to others?

No. It's important you feel the freedom to express whatever you wish in your journal. Sometimes it helps to share that with others provided you feel safe to do so. To that end, there is an optional "Gallery Walk" at the end of class.
