My Project

My 3rd, 4th and 5th graders are going to construct their own sketchbooks. We need a few materials for this. Drawing is the basis for art and this will give them a lot of opportunities to draw. They will also take notes on what they have learned and staple in handouts. I will give them prompts to sketch and draw something outside and put in 3 or 4 values or draw an animal fashion show. They will draw from still life arrangements also. It will be a good tool for experimenting and keeping a record of how they are advancing. They will create a cover and staple it all together with your help, the creativity begins.
