Art Journals

Art Journals

• Artist's journals are illustrated diaries and journals on any theme.

• An art journal can be a record of your daily thoughts– a travel journal– an exercise or diet diary– a dream journal– a place where you jot down your goals or to-do lists– any record that you'd like to keep in a book or notebook.

• They become "art journals" when you add any kind of illustration or embellishment to the pages.

Let’s look at some great examples!

And if you get really ambitious…
