In this class, we will work with visual journaling as a powerful way to record experiences and observations, both artistic and personal. Actively using a sketchbook encourages looking, brainstorming, new ideas, and directions for research, as we go about creating a collection of our own ideas and imaginings. Students will focus on creating their own personal sketchbook/journals to use as creative places to explore the artistic process and to establish a meaningful self-reflective practice. We will use a variety of mediums and experiment with diverse techniques for expression.
