Art journal June prompts ideas

In Roman times, the Juno goddess, the wife of the king of the gods, Jupiter, protected marriage and childbirth. To honor this goddess, Romans gave the name of June to this month. Plus, an important event that happens in June is the summer solstice. There are relevant celebrations and myths all over the world about the sun that can offer us inspiration. Moreover, you can find inspiration from the seasonal flowers, wildflowers, and fruits of this month according to our region.

How to organize your prompt list

Firstly, to organize your summer prompt list, it’s good to have a pattern for your list. For example, you can decide on a few general topics like flowers, fruits, authors, painters, national days, etc. And, repeat these topics sporadically. Moreover, you can divide your list into weeks or decades to have control over the repetitive motifs.


1st to 10th June prompts

On the first decan of June, you can make an inspiring “Hello June” composition. Moreover, June is officially Rose Month to use in your art journal pages. And, you can be inspired by other flowers and fruits that you find this month like Japanese water iris, strawberries, apricots, etc.


It’s also the birthday month for many influential writers to use their quotes in your art journal pages. I selected Thomas Mann and Maurice Sendak. Recently, Maurice Sendak’s book “Where the Wild Things Are” took first place as the best children’s book ever on the BBC Culture’s poll.
