The Creative Journal
Creative journaling has been around since the creation of paper and writing and drawing tools. Journals or diaries have been used by artists, writers, inventors, explorers, travelers, soldiers, and ordinary people recording their lives throughout history.The Creative Journal Residency will combine writing and art. The act of chronicling one’s life can be a lifelong tool for many endeavors, including planning essays (college), recording in the moment reactions to current events, collecting material for projects, school and otherwise, and self expression.
Students can write about their feelings, their families, or what they did the night before. It will be structured with a new topic for every session. In addition to writing, students can draw, paint, rubber stamp and collage. The teaching artists will provide all needed materials. Students can even make their journal into a graphic novel if they choose. Suggested format is for 6 sessions per class meeting twice a week.
