VIDEO TUTORIALS FOR VISUAL JOURNALS

These tutorials are here to help you better understand the concepts and techniques of visual journaling. They are split into parts for easy access to certain topics, but they are meant to be viewed at least once in order from 1-8. We can review any of these techniques in class and additional techniques will be demonstrated in class over the course of the semester.
