Sketchbook Fever!


What a whirlwind the first week of school has been! Exciting new things have been happening in the art room. It has been so wonderful to be back at school. I have gotten to see familiar faces and meet some new ones.



Jumpstarting this year in art, I decided to have every student create their very own sketchbook. Sketchbooks are a marvelous way to store a collection of thoughts and ideas. Students will make a “school sketchbook” to keep in the art room. This will give them an outlet to do some doodling if they finish a project early, or serve as place to create rough drafts and practice some new techniques. Yet, I encourage an “at home sketchbook,” providing students the ability to practice drawing, observing, and imagining.
