Sketchbook Ideas for Primary Schools – A Shared Sketchbook Inspired by Words

This is one of many resources by AccessArt which share sketchbook ideas for primary schools.

This activity can be used to enable pupils to work independently to create pages which are then tied together to create a beautiful, eclectic shared sketchbook.

Collect various types of paper (tracing, cartridge, brown paper etc), and tear or cut into the size of sketchbook pages. Punch holes with a hole punch.

Sketchbook Ideas for Primary Schools

The activity starts with a series of words which your teacher will provide you with.

Words for the Shared Sketchbook

Look at the words, and working alone, choose one which appeals to you, for whatever reason.
