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. Specifically, the artwork above that included the blue outlined leopard, was drawn by a student who started with a single figure. Later, he expanded his ideas on this blue leopard and gave it a setting. He observed and transferred the idea of storytelling. Soon after that, the blue leopard was apart of a story, explaining what the animal was and where it lived. The process that we saw was aligned with our learning targets because the students created artwork that suggests brainstorming, thinking, and imagination.
