Dallas ISD Visual Journaling Workshop

February 15, 2019
 
Assistant Professor Brian Scott Campbell, who teaches drawing and painting at UNT, led a workshop on Visual Journaling for 42 Dallas ISD art teachers. Professor Campbell discussed the sketchbook as a sequential space for developing visual language and notation which can become a highly personalized and indispensable tool for exploration and critically aware expression. Encouraging students to maintain a sketchbook and visual journaling practice provides for opportunities to enable inter-media discourse, conceptualizing, and ideation. In this workshop, teachers engaged strategies for visual experimenting, documenting, reflecting, and evaluating based upon the methods of iterative design. Teachers explored various pictorial genres, modes of abstraction, and methodologies in observation and representation that they could take with them back to the classroom.
