If you're new to Art Journal Every Day, there is a short introduction here. All of the previous posts can be found archived here. There is a flickr group for sharing right here. Remember, it's just ten minutes of nourishing your creative self every day! No need to finish anything or even like it. If you've done some art journaling this week and you've blogged about it, or put it on flickr, please leave a link in the linky list at the end of this post. Thanks!
Today I thought I'd tackle a question that I get quite often. It starts with: "What's the difference between an art journal and…?"
What's the difference between an art journal page and a scrapbook page?
There are so many kinds of art journaling and so many kinds of scrapbooking that so many different kinds of people do. So, I can only answer for myself. These are some of the factors that define an art journal page and a scrapbook page, for me.
What's the difference between an art journal and a mini album?
In my opinion, very little. I think it's mostly self-defined. Here's how I define them for myself:
What's the difference between an art journal and Project Life?
For me, there's a very obvious distinction: page protectors! Here's the rest of the breakdown:
What's the difference between an art journal and a sketchbook?
I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but again I say, a lot of it is self-defined. This is how I break it down:
I hope that this was useful to you. I think the important note to take from all these "definitions" is that it's really a personal choice as to how you define these things. There is absolutely no right or wrong or even a standard definition. Like so much of art, it is up to you decide how you define your own work, along with what barriers or "rules" you create for yourself.
What's your opinion? Do you think there are things that clearly define art journaling and keep it separate from other forms of art making?
Here is this week's linky list:
Thanks for stopping by!
I agree that the definitions can all vary depending on your personal preference. The terms help us to communicate when we want to refer to something, but in the end, you can certainly make it whatever you want. I think many artists might have sketchbook/art/journals/etc all mixed together 🙂

I love these sorts of topics! My journals contain all of the above. I bind my books mixed with water color paper, pretty designed papers (scrapbook), and sometimes even pockets to contain what you call project life. I try not to give my journals any rules, or titles, but what I call them varies from day to day. I think the important thing is to enjoy the process without worrying about labels.

I don’t know what to call my journal. They are a mix of everything listed here. I think I would call my journals mixed media journals. I love using everything in them and most of them are just expimentation with different products.

Here here Linda! I happen to incorporate many embellishments to my art journal. I’ve also seen many other art journalists that do the same. Like you said it all depends on your preference. I would love to see some of your art journaling some day. I bet it’s beautiful!
Love and Peace,
Peggy

I always incoporate photos into my art journals- I use them to tell the whole story. But I’m glad you’re open to that, Julie. I always wanted to scrapbook, but really couldn’t. Art Journaling has made it easier to document our life in a way that really works for me, simply because it doesn’t have to be about the documenting. It’s more about the things that inspire my creative life.

I agree with your definitions. For me the big difference is that my art journal is a freer place for me to experiment. Most LO’s I show folks and most art journal pages are for me (the ones with tons of journaling).

Julie,
Hope you are having a good time in Colorado. Today’s post makes lots of sense to me and you always have good insight. Also like to see what others come up with via your link pictures.

I think your definitions are a good starting point. It does depend on preference but I have to disagree about the no pictures in art journals. Art journals often contain a lot of collage which has photos, sometimes they are old but there are still photos. I often use my own self portraits or pictures I have taken in my journals. L.K. Ludwig who has several books out on Art Journaling focuses a lot on using your personal photos in art journals. I think if you are a scrapbooker and art journal then you may stick to our definitions, but I think those who art journal only mix the two together in one format.

THat was well worth reading and certainly made clear the basic differences between each sort of book. Thanks Julie.

I really like how you describe the differences and how each format is unique. I love to art journal as well as keep a sketchbook. I have thought about keep a project life but I keep a smash book with monthly pages as well as a spread for things collected that month.

I think your comparisons are “spot on.” My art journals are very different from my scrapbooks, mini albums, and sketchbooks. They usually do not contain photos unless I am using a vintage family photo as a part of the page. Art journals are my place for experimenting with new techniques and where I get my hands dirty…..I rarely do this with scrapbook pages or mini albums. I also keep SMASH books as my travel journals which may contain an occasional small photo. My daily diary contains a few observations about the day and any memorabilia, tags, receipts from that day. I love all the formats and think that I have tried them all!

I’m tend to rant about what can and cannot go in an artist journal. Putting any limit at all on them is not a good thing as far as I am concerned. No journal should be paint by the numbers.No journal should be approved or sanctioned. No journal should be rejected because it is not [fill in the blank].
Art journaling is about creativity pure and simple.
Putting any limit or requirement stops the free flow of ideas no matter what they are. Leonardo Da Vinci wrote to do lists in his journals and illustrated them sometimes. He also made his own ink. Dan Eldon is nothing like the crafters version of art journals either. He put everything on his pages. Are they exceptions or the rule? Are the latest trendy supplies the requirement instead?
The whole commercial aspect of art journaling is a good thing because it opens the door to some many who would be otherwise afraid of their creativity. I use and love supplies, trendy or not. But my bottom line is creativity comes first. If a pencil and book of some sort is all you want/need/can afford you still have an art journal if you intend it to be one. Let’s keep it simple as that.
End rant.

i wanted to thank you for posting about your personal processes, and for how you use all the different structures. i spent some time today coming up with my own list of all the structures i use and how i use them. for me, i am overwhelmed and it feels chaotic. i have so many journals started and i am just now getting to a spot where i am starting to see some patterns emerge. of course we all do things differently, that is the amazingly beautiful thing about creativity 🙂 but we do all have similar items we manage — public v private journaling, photos, ephemera, sketches, and etc. i have a couple of items i am also weaving in that are not mentioned here… usage of smash books. need for writing in journals without any art at all. place to capture my technical notes (hand-written) and prints from classes (pdfs and such). as well, i actually have some process flow diagrams :O
thanks for so many things…. today i will keep it simple and say thanks for this documentation.
