A visual verbal journal combines words, drawings, photographs and other visual elements to document personal reflections, ideas and experiences in a creative way. It serves as a place for self-expression, idea exploration and inspiration for future artworks. Artists use visual journals to develop ideas through sketches and written observations. The process of combining visual and verbal elements can stimulate creativity and help the creator explore multiple solutions and ideas. Teachers can also use students' visual journals as an authentic assessment tool to gain insight into their learning experiences.
