Hi 6th Graders! Guess what we're doing?

During the first week of school, we'll start using our sketchbooks (which will be provided-and are made from easy to find materials). You'll learn about book design, and create your own cover.
Our sketchbooks will be really important for lots of reasons. It will be a place to brainstorm, plan, experiment, investigate, and play. I will be giving you in-class drawing and design prompts to complete in your book, but I super duper want you to use it for yourself too. Take it home-take it everywhere-but if you do, bring it back to class EVERY DAY. Draw, write, create- it's yours. I will need to look through it to grade the mini-assignments and reflect on your creative challenges and growth- so just know that.
You can't do 'sketchbook' wrong. It will have drawings you love and drawings you really, really don't love. It's all good. It all matters. The most important thing is to KEEP GOING! (8/26/2012)
