Invitation to Write

May 2, 2024

UMVA Journal

This is an opportunity for visual art educators and/or teaching artists to share your ideas, methods of teaching, student work samples and message about teaching. Please consider writing for the Summer 2024 Maine Arts Journal: The Sketchbook Issue.

Henry Moore, sketchbook page: eight reclining figures, felt-tip pen, crayon and pen and ink on paper, 11½ x 9⅜ in. (29.2 x 23.8 cm), 1966, Sotheby’s New York, Impressionist & Modern Art Day Sale Online, 18 May 2020.

CONSIDERATIONS

What ways do you include sketching into student assignments or as a stand alone assignment? How do you and your students occupy the blank pages of sketchbooks: images, words, scribbles and doodles, quotes and references. Include examples that reveal the many purposes for which you use sketchbooks as a teacher: observation, reflection, remembering, documenting and recording inspirations, communication, planning, assessing accomplishments, or collecting successes and challenges, dreaming about future art works.

As an uncensored private site, the sketchbook is essential to the creative process. It also gives a remarkably vivid entry into an artist’s world, process, and practice. Consider sharing your students artwork, pages from their sketchbooks, ideas they’ve expressed, moments in time. How does the sketchbook contribute to your student’s work?
