art journaling
Creative mixed-media notebook
Art journaling is a creative practice that combines visual art with personal writing in a journal or sketchbook.
Unlike traditional journaling, it incorporates drawing, painting, collage, and mixed media alongside text.
The practice emphasizes self-expression over artistic skill: Art journaling helped me process my grief.
Entries might include doodles, photos, stamps, or found materials layered with reflections, quotes, or stream-of-consciousness writing.
