Due to the pandemic, this school year has been especially challenging for teachers, and students alike, to process. I personally took an art therapy course to understand how to implement therapeutic activities into the art curriculum here at our school. After learning about various art therapy techniques, Visual Journaling is the best option for our students. Visual Journaling is a reflective process that involves exploring concepts, ideas, and thoughts visually in order to understand and create personal meaning. Artistic talent is not necessarily a requirement to engage Visual Journaling; in fact, this universal experience only requires individuals to be open to explore, discover and reconnect with oneself and their life experiences. Within an educational context, Visual Journaling can be more than just a powerful tool for personal meaning-making; it can also function as an assessment tool for metacognitive awareness. Although the basis for Visual Journaling stems from the concept of an artist’s sketchbook and a visual arts classroom, it possesses critical application across all academic content and different contexts.
