Each child’s sketchbook is a place where they can record their ideas, their thinking, their evaluations, their experimentation, as well as their individuality. 

Our sketchbooks are exciting to look at, touch and feel, and are central to good practice. As the work is predominantly visual, there are no right or wrong answers. Children learn from mistakes, and these are valued as part of the working process.

A sketchbook is a must for all artists to record their ideas, inspiration and a place to practise and refine their skills.

You can see a selection of pages from our Key Stage One children’s sketchbooks, in this gallery.
