Funded Aug 11, 2020You saved our virtual school year! The sketchbooks that my art students received were the key to making our projects and lessons safe and organized as students worked from home. Sketchbooks were given out to each student along with some basic supplies at the beginning of the school year and at the beginning of the second semester. When art students picked up their textbooks from other classes, they were treated to a brand new sketchbook, just like professional artists used. It was a lovely way to begin their studies.
Throughout the school year, art students and I were able to use the sketchbook instead of working on lined paper that kids had at home. We completed 8 projects in the sketchbook using pencils and colored pencils. Students studied cartooning, poster design, color theory, linear perspective, and contour line drawings. Most students will be back with me next year and they will be able to continue using the sketchbooks to create more work when we are back together in the fall. Thank you so, so much for making my job easier, and for giving my students an important and meaningful gift.”
