Our Sketchbooks program was developed by Ms. Connolly, to be a progressive learning experience in observational drawing.   Every student sewed and bound their own sketchbooks which will be maintained over the course of each year and include 4-5 entries: a self-portrait, a family portrait, a still-life, and a landscape (for which we happily go outside to draw!).  When students graduate from Fourth Grade, they will have accrued a comprehensive collection of drawings from each year, which shows the progression, and evolution of their drawing developments.  The growth is amazing!  
     Our preschoolers make smaller versions of this project that will go home at the end of this year.  The rest of the sketchbooks are housed in the Art Studio, and move up with your student each year.  We will display them at each Art Show, during Open House, and at Parent/Teacher Conferences.
