Art journaling is an interesting blend of art and journaling. It involves using a journal or sketchbook as a canvas for artistic expression. Children can combine images, drawings, paintings, collages and written words to document their thoughts, feelings, experiences, or ideas. It's a flexible form of personal expression that allows for experimentation and creativity without any rules or limitations. Art journaling can be therapeutic, helping children explore emotions and reflect on their lives.
The objective of this class is to get children engaged in artist processes while having fun and expressing themselves. Throughout this class, students will improve their fine motor skills and learn the foundations of fine art to help them excel in their future artistic endeavors. At the end of the class, students will have an art journal of their very own to reflect on and the skills they practiced through the week.
