    In this class, students will make and design their own one-of-a-kind art journal. An art journal is a record of self-expression using words and visual imagery. It is a place to doodle, paint, collage, experiment, write, or draw. Each art journal is as unique as the person who designs it. Did you know that many famous artists like Picasso and Vincent van Gogh kept art journals? Students will have fun expressing themselves and learning many design techniques as they create their own distinctive art journal.
