WIA - Visual Verbal Journal (Lesson)

Artists keep visual verbal journals to record ideas, write about concepts, practice media techniques and create sketches for future projects. In the GA Performance Standards for visual art, a sketchbook is called a visual verbal journal because it is more than a scrapbook of drawings. A visual verbal journal includes personal insight and written content including reflections on assignments after completion and on your journey as an artist. In some assignments, you will write a reflection in your VVJ after completing the assignment and both will be turned in together as the graded assignment.

It is important to have the materials from day one of this course so you don't fall behind. Download the handouts "Supply Box Instructions" and "Student Supply List" for more detailed instructions.
