In today’s class, the purpose of the lesson was to introduce us as artists, and the importance of sketchbooks. They are great tools for students to practice ideation. As they brainstorm, they will have more ideas to choose from and continue to revisit ideas throughout the rest of the semester. In the photos above, there are student examples of drawings. Students reflected on what they were passionate about and freely expressed why and what they chose to draw. Some drawings were intentional, and the student had a plan right at the beginning while others made a line, then built off that. When us, teachers, asked what they were drawing, it was interesting to hear stories, flourishing ideas, and personalities come to life. Sketchbooks are used in many ways and that is what the students discovered. There is no right or wrong way while expressing ideas in sketchbooks. Students connected our personal artwork to our passions and what we enjoy so that they could connect their own interests to art. A main theme that we saw throughout the class was the expression of personal values, interests, and important figures in their lives. The student connected the learning target to their creation of sketchbook drawings. For example, a student started to draw a landscape full of flowers, then began to add other elements. Throughout the class, we saw that she kept brainstorming and stretching her ideas into more. By the end of the class, she was eager to showcase what she drew and why. Above, her drawing includes a storm with butterflies and flowers.
