Sketchbook

An art student's sketchbook: kraft paper, ink lines and washi tape.

Sketchbook looks like an art student's own book: kraft and cream paper, black ink lines and two marker colors, vermilion and teal, with photos held on by masking tape. Teachers are labelled master swatch, the mascot gets a model sheet drawn from every angle, and the class pages include thumbnails, a Sketch of the Day and Grade 5: Then & Now. A Cover Art Contest page shows off the winner and two runners-up.

Sketchbook, answered

Does Sketchbook have a page for our cover art contest?

Yes. The Cover Art Contest page has spots for the winner and two runners-up, and the Art Show and the Art Club have pages of their own.

What are the drawing and writing pages in Sketchbook?

Sketch of the Day asks students to draw a favorite memory, All About Me has a draw-yourself box, All About Future Me asks where they will be in 20 years, and the book ends with Sign the Sketchbook and Notes in the Margin.

Which fonts does Sketchbook use?

Fraunces, a soft serif, for headings and Caveat for handwritten notes, the way you would annotate a page of your own sketchbook.
