Visual Journals: What Are They?A visual journal is more than a sketchbook. It is a place where you will track your creative process. You will write, draw, collage, sew, glue, paint, think and plan in your visual journal. It is the process of making your notes and ideas visual. You will design your notes and ideas showing the process of how you arrive at your final work of art. Being able to explain your though process through visual means is vital to literacy. Leonardo da Vinci did this and so can you! There are many great Visual Journal examples out in the world. Check out some of these resources to see what Visual Journaling is and how you can make more of this process.
