About the book
Many students are unsure what is expected within their sketchbook or art journal, or how to present their visual investigations in a compelling and creative way.
Outstanding High School Sketchbooks contains sketchbook pages by high school art students from around the world. Many of these sketchbook pages are from projects that were awarded full marks in qualifications such as IGCSE/GCSE Art, A Level Art, VCE Studio Arts, National Senior Certificate, NCEA Design and Visual Communication, and IB Visual Arts.
The examples illustrate a wide range of approaches to sketchbook content, annotation, and layout. They cover a range of disciplines, including drawing, painting, mixed media, graphic design, sculpture, 3D design, architecture, printmaking, photography, textiles, and fashion. The large-scale images show annotation and fine detail, providing excellent learning opportunities.
Outstanding High School Sketchbooks begins with tips and advice for those looking to create a sketchbook, visual diary, or art journal as part of a high school art class. The introductory text is clear, straightforward, and able to be understood by students. These pages are easily photocopiable for use in a classroom situation, creating student-friendly handouts.
Following the introductory sections, the book contains full-color spreads of sketchbook pages – providing excellent visual examples for students.
We hope this book becomes an essential addition to the high school art department library.
