Playing with Visual Journaling

for larger view.

Visual journaling is a creative way to express and record life's experiences, feelings, emotional reactions, and/or your inner world – using pictures, drawings, words and mementos of life events. Scrapbooking can be considered visual journaling and many scrapbooking techniques, tools and art supplies can be used for visual journaling.

Part one on Saturday will be an introduction to visual journaling. You will be playing with many page designs and altering; ways to apply color to pages; how to put photographs, drawings and sketches onto pages, and playing with a wide variety of drawing tools.

Part Two on Sunday will give you an opportunity to bring your learnings from Saturday and apply to developing several personal pages.

She has a BA in psychology, is a student of art therapy and has over twenty years experience as a graphic artist. She is a creativity and expressive arts coach. She is an expert at using a variety of materials to create shape, color, textures and moods for her dolls, which evoke feelings of mystery and awe.
