Lesson Plan and Artwork by Sue Loesl
Sketchbooks and journals have been an important part of many artists’ work. Exploring materials beyond the traditional techniques encourages student creativity. Kwik Stix are a fast-drying paint medium, but when used as a more traditional paint paired with tissue paper, they produce exciting artworks. In this lesson, students will design and create a textured sketchbook cover to use on their journeys as artists.
This lesson plan focuses on grades 6-12. It combines Art, Art History, Science, Mixed Media, and Painting.
