An art journal is a personal space where individuals can express their creativity through various artistic mediums. It often combines visual art, such as drawing, painting, and collage, with written elements like poetry, thoughts, or reflections. This practice allows for exploration and experimentation without the pressure of creating a finished piece. Art journals can serve multiple purposes, including self-discovery, stress relief, and skill development. They are often used by artists, students, and hobbyists alike. Many people find inspiration in their daily lives, nature, or even in the works of famous artists like Vincent van Gogh or Frida Kahlo.
