Sketchbooks in Art

A twilight devoted to looking at your sketchbooks and sketchbook practice in a supportive environment and thinking about we might develop their use.

"Very useful, in articular how we assess"

"I’ve loved both of the sessions I’ve attended, they’ve given me so many ideas to share with the staff"

"Thank you very much. Given me lots of ideas about how to encourage the children to use their sketchbooks. I'll share with the staff."

"This has all been really helpful. Especially the fear of the blank pages and coffee stains :) "
