An art journal, or artist's journal, is a book kept by an artist as a visual, and sometimes verbal, record of her thoughts and ideas. Art journals generally combine visual journaling and writing, to create finished pages. Every imaginable style, media and technique is used by art journalists.
Simply put, Art Journaling is a visual diary--it's record keeping combined with creativity! It's a place to record your thoughts, memories, and emotions through images, art and words. ... Art Journal=A personal journal (or book) filled with any combination of art, imagery and words.
