Looking Back to Move Forward
In the first episode of 'The Art of Journaling Podcast,' host Diane Bleck, Founder of the Doodle Institute, guides listeners through a journey of self-discovery and creative practices over 50 weeks. This episode focuses on reflecting on early experiences and influences that shaped one's identity as an artist. Diane encourages listeners to recall their first artistic memories and translate those into a self-portrait or collage in their journals. She shares her personal experiences of creative inspiration from her childhood and invites listeners to join the Doodle Friends membership for a deeper, community-driven journaling experience. The episode serves as an introduction to using weekly prompts to build a joyful and reflective art practice.
