🎨 Art Journal Prompt: Create a Cutout Poem

​

Hi John!

Happy Friday! How are you getting on? I hope your week has been filled with art and creative inspiration.

This morning I pulled a set of Art Prompt Cards that led me to a fun art journaling process. Maybe you'd like to give it a try, too 💫

Make a Cutout Poem

The process is relaxing, easy, and potentially enlightening.

If you've been reading my books or following my emails, you know I often emphasize that the journey is more important than the destination. This art prompt aligns with that belief—it's about embracing the freedom for creative play without the pressure of judgment, not about creating a perfect, finished piece.

Are you ready to play?

We'll start with pages from any magazine. I used a free advertisement mailing for this. Simply open it up and snip out words and phrases that resonate with you, then arrange them in a poem that captures a story.

One of the cutouts I found says "playtime starts now," which captures the essence of this process.

What a fortunate find!

Here’s what you’ll need:

Your Task:

Once you finish, I’d love to see your work. Please share your cutout poems with me by replying to this email with a photo of your art journal page.

Looking forward to seeing your poetic art come to life!

Playtime starts now,

Rachelle
