Journaling Prompts for Artists

  • The piece of art that I’ve seen in person that blows me away is . . .
  • The piece of art I most want to see in person is . . .
  • If I could have a conversation with any artist–living or dead–it would be . . .

Need more ideas? Cynthia Morris has some great thoughts about writing on the road–capturing your trip before you lose the memories.
