We have our 7/8 grade elective art students (in Ceramics, Digital Art & Photography and Advanced Studio Art) begin each class with a sketchbook assignment to encourage our young artists to draw each day and to to get into the "art zone". They know to get their sketchbooks out as soon as they come into our classrooms and look to the board for the assignment of the day. They will then spend the next 5-8 minutes silently drawing. We find it a great way to begin our classes!
