Create A Journal About Yourself


What is a journal?

A journal is like a diary.

Why am I doing this?

  • A great way to reflect honestly about yourself
  • A cool way to respect yourself 
  • A safe way to express anger or frustration
  • A fantastic solution for when you say, 'I'M BORED!'
What you need
  • A visual art diary or art paper folded in half to make a book
    (Art paper is good because you can add more pages if you need them)
  • Art materials for decorating your journal
  • A quiet place to do this (listening to music with headphones helps)

What to do

Below are ideas for pages in your journal.

Front Page
  • Decorate with your name, a photo, a drawing, a picture that means a lot to you
