Sketch Books


In class we got to create our own sketch books.  First we made our own paper by painting plain white paper with colors of our choice. I chose to do some blending with yellow, green and pink and than splatted chunks of paint on top.  We put this paper over pieces of card board to create a cover. Than we put paper in between the two covers and sewed the book together.  This is a cheap and creative way to make your own books or journals.

As an extension students could create one of these for daily journal entries for language arts class.  These actually could be used for any class: social studies - journal as if you were with Lewis and Clark on their exhibition; Math - students could have different rules, theories, and definitions and math problems in here to help them study; Science - students could figure out different equations in here or write different formulas you may need to know.
