WHAT TEACHERS ARE SAYING

★★★★ “I really appreciated how this resource was laid out because I am NOT an art teacher and my students are all virtual this year. It was great to use because it was scaffolded with interesting projects. Parents and students really enjoyed these lessons. They work on a sketchbook together and are able to enjoy a part of their schooling this year which has been stressful for these families.” Genevieve B., TPT review

★★★★ “These were such great prompts to use with remote students. Very visually appealing and inspiring. Will continue using in person as well.” Stephanie K., TPT review

★★★★ “This was really great for our last minute distance learning 2019-2020 and I'll definitely use them for this next year!” Michala B., TPT review

★★★★ = TPT “Extremely satisfied” (TPT uses a 4-point scale).

Each included product contains:

• 15 Interactive Sketchbook Pages designed to build creativity and student connection to art
• Sketchbook Assignments that encourage students to explore ideas, interests and artistic thinking
• Poster Format Prompts to laminate, post or project to introduce the day's lesson and set expectations
• Glue-In Format Prompts students glue into their sketchbooks so they always have the assignment, title and visual reference

WHAT STUDENTS LEARN

Students practice creative thinking, personal reflection through art, sketchbook routines and independence, experimentation and risk taking, visual problem solving and confidence in their sketchbook work. The prompts help them reflect on who they are, what they enjoy and what matters to them as they develop their artistic voice.

Project the poster prompts as your daily hook, and have students glue the smaller prompts into their sketchbooks for easy reference and multi-day work. Use them for warm ups, early finishers, art centers, homeschool art, visual journals and sub plans.

FAQ

Who can use this resource?

Classroom teachers, art teachers, homeschool educators and substitute teachers. The included products cover elementary, middle school and high school sketchbook use.

How do the two formats work?

Use the poster prompts as a projected or posted class hook, and the glue-in prompts inside student sketchbooks so students always have the assignment and visual reference with them.

Can I use just some of the prompts?

Yes. Pick and choose the prompts you need, or work through all of them as part of a larger sketchbook program.
