Art Journals Artist's journals are illustrated diaries and journals on any theme. An art journal can be a record of your daily thoughts – a travel journal – an exercise or diet diary – a dream journal – a place where you jot down your goals or to-do lists – any record that you'd like to keep in a book or notebook.
