Overcoming fear & anxiety with… curiosity

Welcome to Better With Art. I’m Melinda and I’m here to encourage you to reclaim your creativity and practice creative self-care with weekly small-art prompts that can be done in an art journal or on paper if you don’t have one. If you’re looking, my top recommendation is below.

As last week we’re giving shape to a hard emotion, but containing it on a page, and looking at another emotion that can counteract it. If you missed last week’s video, here’s the link to “You call that ART?!? Yes! Find hope in therapeutic art with me.”

If you’d like to extend the week’s theme with journaling prompts and other creative self-care inspiration, click here to sign up for Better With Art emails. You’ll also receive a link to join the private Better With Art Facebook group.

Click here for my top value-for-the-money recommendation if you’d like an art journal to get started with my simple form of art journaling.
I use it in my prompt videos, and for the art journaling group at the library where I work. I love the paper, and it holds up well with wet, dry, and layered mixed media.

And here’s the link to the Amazon Basics markers I use and mention in the video.

If you use any of my Amazon links and make a qualifying purchase, I will make a small commission as an Amazon associate. This does not affect your price, but gives me a few cents toward supporting my sharing my healthy art habit with others. So, thanks if you do!

You are worthy. And you’re capable of more than you think. Own that.

And don’t miss out on the wonder.
