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.
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?
