They immediately personalized them by designing the cover and sketching ideas for their next work of art. Students use them in every class to sketch ideas, practice their drawing skills, and/or for self-reflection. \r\n\r\nIn the coming days, students will begin a unit entitled \"Empowered Self Portraits.\" They will use their sketchbooks to brainstorm their positive attributes and personally meaningful images. Their brainstorming will help them create a self-portrait celebrating their uniqueness. In the Art Room, we build not only skills, but confidence and community. The use of sketchbooks has encouraged students to practice and experiment with their drawing, which is building their confidence. I encourage them to share their sketchbook drawings and ideas with their peers, which builds community. We appreciate your support. Thank you for making my vision a reality.","fullyFundedDate":1755879772228,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-students-through-art-a-sket/9616452/","projectTitle":"Empowering Students Through Art : A Sketchbook Journey 25-26 SY","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. McGill Thompson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mcgillthompson"},{"teacherId":7908923,"projectId":9289756,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our nonfiction book project!
