Visual Journaling

A visual journal is a personal record of thoughts, emotions, and experiences through images, drawings, and words. It can be used for self-expression, reflection, and personal growth.

Visual Journaling is a learning tool that can help individuals gain insight into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It can also serve as a creative outlet for self-expression and provide a safe space for processing and healing emotions.

A sketchbook is primarily used to practice and refine artistic skills, while a visual journal focuses on personal expression and reflection. A visual journal can incorporate sketches, including written entries and other forms of creative expression.

Art educators can use visual Journaling anytime to help students explore creativity and self-expression. With just basic supplies like paper and found objects, they can guide students through the same process of layering images, text, and colors to encourage meaning-making. It’s a wonderful way to inspire reflection and personal storytelling in the classroom.
