In this recording of a 30-minute practical session on 06/05/2026, we explored a playful approach to sketchbooks and drawing, guiding you through the Glimpses and Folds Sketchbook Challenge, designed to help you create a tapestry of observational drawings that explore scale and mark-making.
The AccessArt Treehouse Challenges offer young people a way into creative exploration that feels enabling and exciting. You can watch along or join in with the activity. If you would like to take part in the demonstration, you will need an A3 sheet of paper, a marker pen, scissors, and objects to draw from.
This session is aimed at educators working outside mainstream education, such as home educators and those working in vulnerable settings, including CAHMS, ESBA, hospitals, neuroinclusive spaces, nurture groups, care homes, youth offender institutions, and extracurricular providers.
Thank you to Toby Saville for sharing his idea of ‘glimpses’ and iterative methods of working, which planted the seed for this resource. ‘Glimpses’ was born in January of this year and was run with his Year 12’s to kick-start a major project, Toby was pleased with outcomes, and “the wealth of opportunities it has already presented for students to start to ‘notice what they notice’…..whilst establishing useful habits of documenting and celebrating fleeting, incidental and unique moments of visual intrigue.”
