I looked at the different categories of visual journals and looked at lot's of different artist's work. Out of all the types of visual diaries I found the personal diary style the most interesting to look at because the writing draws you into their world and experiences and this is really fascinating to me.
Then went onto Instagram and typed in the hashtag #visualdiaries So many interesting pages came up, so many ways of exploring and interpreting the world we live in. The types of pages I found myself drawn to the most were the abstract ones. As an abstract painter myself I found these really exciting and they inspired me a lot. Here are my favourites:
Another artist I looked into was Lynda Barry.
Popova, M. (2020). Lynda Barry’s Illustrated Field Guide to Keeping a Visual Diary and Cultivating a Capacity for Creative Observation. [online] Brain Pickings. Available at: https://www.brainpickings.org/2014/12/02/lynda-barry-syllabus-book/ [Accessed 7 Jan. 2020].
I found her style very interesting and a bit similar to the way some of my sketches come out, sort of heavy lines and more doodles. Barry uses a lot of words on her pages and I am interested to check out some of her books.
Researching all these different styles of visual diaries was so interesting and inspiring. There are so many ways of keeping a visual diary and I hope to find a style that works for me in the near future.
