How to be an Explorer of the World

High school, middle school, and college students have spent time journaling this summer, using one of my favorite books, How to be an Explorer of the World: Portable Art Life Museum, as inspiration.

I have previously blogged about this resource and you will find some ideas there.

BrainPickings shares some entries with a favorable overview as well: "a wonderful compendium of 59 ideas for how to get creatively unstuck by engaging with everyday objects and your surroundings in novel ways. From mapping found sounds to learning the language of trees to turning time observation into art".  

Below I share some of my most recent college student visual responses. I encourage you to check out this Keri Smith journaling resource...

“Every morning when we wake up, we have twenty-four brand-new hours to live. What a precious gift!”
