This unit investigates introductory concepts and means of producing visual journals or art diaries. The process of keeping a journal which contains written, collaged and sketched visual material is both a personal and intellectual way of engaging with everyday activities, thoughts and emotions. The unit exposes students to methods of recording and creatively extrapolating thoughts in the visual journal by employing graphic media. Students develop practical skills to assist with the process of learning to record, correlate and develop their creative thoughts. -- Course Website
