HS Advanced Art - 3rd Quarter Sketchbook Entries

By Joseph B.

When the second semester began this year I thought I would have the students do something a little different for their sketchbook entries. We looked at how sketchbooks or art journals could be used based on a person's interests or job. Architectural sketchbooks, interior design sketchbooks, travel journaling, calligraphy practice, and landscape design, art media practice were just some of the ways these blank books could be used. I asked the students to think of their sketchbooks in that way. I wanted them to draw in them based on either what they were interested in, or on what art skills and media they wanted to practice on, or on what they wanted to remember about their lives. They each had to create 3 total meaningful entries (one for each month January through March). Their entries didn't disappoint. I selected one from each student to share with you here.

HS Art 1 - Pen & Ink Still Life

By Collin L.

Students in Art 1 recently learned about different ways to create value and shading using pen and ink. Then they were challenged to draw a still life using at least one of the shading techniques they learned. Enjoy their masterpieces. They did a great job!

MS Art - Quarter 3 Sketchbook Entries

By Ryker R.

When the second semester began this year I thought I would have the students do something a little different for their sketchbook entries. We looked at how sketchbooks or art journals could be used based on a person's interests or job to make them more meaningful. Architectural sketchbooks, interior design sketchbooks, travel journaling, calligraphy practice, and landscape design, art media practice were just some of the ways these blank books could be used. I asked the students to think of their sketchbooks in that way. I wanted them to draw in them based on either what they were interested in, or on what art skills and media they wanted to practice on, or on what they wanted to remember about their lives. They each had to create 3 total meaningful entries (one for each month January through March). Their entries didn't disappoint. I selected one from each student to share with you here. I love how some of them labeled things in their drawings. I learned some things that I didn't know!
