No Excuses Art Journaling: Making Time for Creativity | Gina Rossi Armfield

I am trying out a new-to-me creative hobby - art journaling! I‘ve done the front cover (both sides) and the first page. We‘ll see if the hobby sticks but I am enjoying it! And hopefully, the more I do it, the better I‘ll get. 🎨

***And before anyone yells at me, I had a book whose spine broke and the pages started falling out, so I decided to repurpose them into art! 😂

Remarkable Diaries: The World's Greatest Diaries, Journals, Notebooks, & Letters | DK

pick

The coffee table book format may suggest a shallow read, but there's an awful lot of information packed in here! Although it acts more like an appetizer for any one life story you might want to read more about, so many of the original journals, diaries, featured here have been published in book or excerpt form that it simultaneously acts as an introduction and a reading list. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? Perhaps reflecting the changing technology, moving from handwriting to typing and online, three quarters of the book focuses on accounts from before 1900. Even given that much space, of course, it's no doubt just a sample of a fraction of what is out there in the world, though it tries to feature a number of nations, cultures, languages, even if it seems to me there were more white, western faces. 2mo

Robotswithpersonality 3/? The accounts are careful to indicate the wrongdoings of a number of historical figures, even if their place in history still secured them a spot for discussion. 😑
The formatting is interesting because you'll see in images a sample of the diary, perhaps other examples of that person's work or things from their life, and a bit of in context imagery and wording besides the basic bio and what's significant about the diary and their life. 2mo

Robotswithpersonality 4/? Some diaries get two two-page spreads, the second set 'in detail', with more aspects of the journal and their life.
The 'directory' at the end of each section of time covered felt a bit odd, because all of a sudden you'd get a two-page spread of columns of text covering a handful of extra diaries from the same time period without any further visuals or details. I mean, if you're going to include them, give them the page spread too! 2mo

Robotswithpersonality 5/? It wouldn't have made the book that much longer. 🤷🏼‍♂️
It makes sense that a good number of the entries are about writers, though I guess from the cover, I was surprised there were not more artists, or people who had made their diaries into art objects. It's really more of a who's who beyond the very first journals which are significant just for their place in the timeline of the medium's existence. 2mo

Robotswithpersonality 6/? No surprise, unfortunately, that a number of diaries center on those who experienced or commented on conflicts, wars and revolutions, considering how often they feature in humanity's history.
The collection does include a fair amount of female contributors, the percentages feel as though they represent the timeline, the historical disparity in women having the ability to be recognized for literary achievement or work outside the home. 2mo

Robotswithpersonality 7/7 It's a pleasing item to flip through, but if you're planning to read it cover to cover, I recommend taking it slow, it's an awful lot of disparate historical snippets to cram into your brain in a short period *cough* library loan period *cough*, though many figures and events will be familiar.
An interesting read, but I think I like focusing more on the life of one individual at a time. More memoirs to come! 2mo
