For many years I have been really interested in art journaling and I wanted to write some E-books about ways you can incorporate mixed media and art journaling techniques in the classroom. It is a great way for regular classroom teachers to combine creative writing and art.
In the art classroom, keeping a sketchbook or art journal is an excellent enrichment activity for early finishers or for kids to do in their free time. I see art journals as a way to combine preliminary sketches for projects, notetaking and creative expression. I have been dabbling in writing articles about mixed media art, watercolor techniques and my own art journal process. I wrote an E-Zine called Art Journaling with Kids that you can purchase for $6.50. You can download a preview and see more images there.
The activities can be used as stand-alone art projects or in an art journal!
Art Journaling with Kids is a downloadable E-Zine with 34 pages of inspiration!
Included are 5 different tutorials and techniques that you can try in blank sketchbooks OR simply as stand-alone art projects.
Art journals allow children to express themselves through drawing, collage and writing. Perfect for independent activities and enrichment.
