Visual journaling is a powerful way to fuel creativity, deepen reflection, and spark meaningful artmaking—for both teachers and students. In this energizing webinar, artists and educators David Modler, Eric Scott, and Sam Peck will guide participants through accessible journaling processes that support personal art practice while enriching K–12 classroom instruction.
Using surfing metaphors as a playful entry point, the presenters will explore intuition, a/r/tography, and culturally responsive art education through hands-on prompts and materials. Throughout the session, they will demonstrate a range of visual journaling techniques and materials, modeling accessible processes you can immediately bring into your own teaching and artmaking. You’ll experience how visual journaling can capture lived experience, connect identity to creative inquiry, and create space for exploration—whether during the school year or in summer art experiences.
Designed for K–12 art educators at all experience levels, this webinar offers ready-to-use strategies, adaptable prompts, and practical ways to integrate visual journals into your studio classroom. Participants will leave with techniques they can apply immediately to inspire experimentation, reflection, and sustained artistic momentum.
