What is a Sketchbook?
This module is aimed at introducing the idea of “sketchbook” to children.
We created this module because we wanted to establish a baseline of understanding amongst pupils and staff, as to what a sketchbook can be and who might use a sketchbook. The module takes its starting point from preconceptions about sketchbooks and their use, and then challenges these preconceptions through examples of wider use. For further information about suggested use of this module, click here.
