My question is, do you think sketchbooks would work for the littles. At first, I was only considering it for 2nd grade, but I love the idea so much, I wonder if I could make it work for the younger kids as well. I do have all classes for 50 minutes a week. What do you think?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17827090914323138399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781163151779948787.post-13942816312883827922018-06-22T01:16:29.796-07:002018-06-22T01:16:29.796-07:00A resource that will help in writing satire essayA resource that will help in writing <a href="https://rocketpaper.net/satire-essay" rel="nofollow">satire essay</a>RocketPaperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11249777459454049964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781163151779948787.post-42002346395338119732017-09-12T18:02:11.945-07:002017-09-12T18:02:11.945-07:00Cassie, I use sketchbooks with 2nd through 5th gra...Cassie, I use sketchbooks with 2nd through 5th grade students. I do a "quick start" with my kids, where they do a quick draw, or watch a short video, read a quick article or critique a work of art - they often use their sketchbooks for this and I try to make it related to what we are working on so it is meaningful. We also use sketchbooks for brainstorming or sketching for projects. I use 2-pocket white folders with fasteners (so we can add pages throughout the year) and they can design/decorate the covers the way they choose. The kids love them and they get to take them home at the end of the year. I also use sketchbooks with my 1st graders, but we make ours out of construction paper.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781163151779948787.post-76317723007704643862017-09-07T09:49:26.876-07:002017-09-07T09:49:26.876-07:00Yes, I'm with Charlotte...how DID you get thos...Yes, I'm with Charlotte...how DID you get those wonderful textures/lines? :)Vonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10916063964642483051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781163151779948787.post-6346051611932893372017-08-27T15:24:41.739-07:002017-08-27T15:24:41.739-07:00These are so Beautiful and fun!

I have a teeny tiny budget at my school, so I am always trying to find creative ways to use what I already have in the art room. I have also used masking tape to essentially recreate the plastic part thats on the end of a shoelace to help with sewing sketchbooks. If anyone is interested in either of those methods let me know, and I would be happy to share. <br /><br />Also the pamphlet stitch Ellen mentioned is very simple. <br />1) Punch three holes along the spine of your book. <br />2) Cut a piece of yarn roughly 3 times the length of the spine of your students sketchbook.<br />3) Open the book and thread the yarn through the middle hole. (Thread from the outerspine to the inside of the book.)<br />4) Thread the yarn through the top hole. (Thread will be going from the inside of the book to the outerspine.)<br />5) Next thread the yarn through the bottom hole, from the outerspine, back to the inside of the book. <br />6) Thread the string back through the middle hole, to the outerspine.<br />7) Tie a knot, incorporating the string running along the spine, and cut off the excess.<br /><br />If anyone has any other questions let me know ! :) Us art teachers have to stick together !!! mollyblogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08884369044623125339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781163151779948787.post-81186800743054539092017-07-08T01:05:38.807-07:002017-07-08T01:05:38.807-07:00its gonna be on fire when you already know it ->...its gonna be on fire when you already know it -> <a href="http://ow.ly/jjDb30dsBIv" rel="nofollow">Obat Salep Kadas Kurap Kutu Air Di Apotik</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781163151779948787.post-12632228056354029882017-02-16T11:05:37.717-08:002017-02-16T11:05:37.717-08:00I am loving all of your ideas and taking advice fr...I am loving all of your ideas and taking advice from you all. We are currently making sketchbooks with my after school clubs (KS2 children) we haven't yet put the actual sketchbooks together, the children have just been creating art to go inside them, including line drawing, still life, we made feather quills and drew with ink, then they drew large chalk pastel drawings. They have also made a front name page in the style of Matisse cut outs. Not too sure how I'm gonna put all their work together in their sketchbooks as yet, I'm thinking using treasury tags perhaps. I'd be grateful for any advice on that!

I started using them in a way to create real authentic assessments in the art room. To make them, I use a piece of 12x18" construction paper as the cover - this is nice becuase you can color code in any way that works best for your organization. I fill it with 20-25 sheets of computer paper and run it through the electric hole punch. Then, I use paper fasteners. I use my sketchooks for generating ideas for TAB units and also for my SLOs and assessments. If I want a baseline assessment, I can create it and add it into the sketchbook by just adding the holes. Since it's a book, everything is in order, so it's very easy to monitor progress for formative assessments. It's really nice to be able to open the sketchbook up to add or remove sheets and to monitor their artistic thinking and self-reflection in these books. If I come up with something mid-year... just open up the fasteners and stick the sheet in!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03502624498849503600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781163151779948787.post-7422710796416440122016-08-17T17:41:12.057-07:002016-08-17T17:41:12.057-07:00I did it with 3rd and 4th since they have art for ...I did it with 3rd and 4th since they have art for an hour :)cassie stephenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09850034034580646768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781163151779948787.post-78690864718299284552016-08-17T13:33:30.664-07:002016-08-17T13:33:30.664-07:00Cassie, I am thinking about starting this idea of ...Cassie, I am thinking about starting this idea of sketchbooks with my classes.

The covers are white so students designed a 3x5 label with their names to stick to the front cover and then were also able to add other drawings to the cover. The binders can be ordered in a variety of colors so that can personalize them as well, and students were able to identify theirs in the racks quickly. I bought wire magazine racks, 2 per class one for boys and one for girls. When students put their books away they stack them on my poster separated boys/girls piles. Their free draws use the front and our in class guided drawings or notetaking starts from the back just to keep it organized. I loved the sense of ownership students had and how several were encouraged to return to a "masterpiece" week after week to add a bit more detail. Others simply experimented with a variety of drawings using the drawing books for ideas or imagination. We set drawing goals at the beginning of the year which were revisited periodically. I am working of some weekly drawing prompts for students who need some direction. I am also looking into using the app Seesaw to allow students to upload their drawings, comment on them, and share them at home. Has anyone used this? Please share if you have good ideas for prompts for 3-5th grade, or ideas for showcasing sketchbook work.

How they are bound and how the covers are made are dependent on the grade. Yet, it's a very multimedia type of lesson that I have planned. Any ideas or advice?
