7th Graders Sketchbook Assignments


Seventh graders were asked to take their sketchbooks home for a week and work on an assignment that involved art journaling. They were to start with an image from a newspaper or magazine, and from there tell a story about something funny or shocking that they had experienced.




The students showed a lot of creativity and it was fun to see some of the stories they had to share!

    I like the use of incorporating magazine clippings in with colored pencils. I like the curriculum that you are currently educating us on.

    i think these are really cool. you can tell what interests them by the person they picked in the magazine. it's neat how you can see what the project was, but they're all unique.
