A visual verbal journal combines words, drawings, sketches, photographs and other visual elements to document personal reflections, ideas, and experiences in a creative way. It serves similar purposes to a sketchbook but also incorporates written elements. Artists use visual journals to develop ideas, explore creativity, and record observations. The format provides a low-risk place for experimentation and allows for multiple solutions and elaboration of ideas through visual and verbal combinations. Teachers can gain insights into students' thinking through reviewing their journals.
