“I loved all of the articles about different art techniques and different activities to bring into our classrooms.”

“I loved the practical videos and articles! The class was engaging and gave me more ideas on how I can use art for self-care and how to engage my students in deeper learning through incorporating the arts.”

“Thank you for this awesome course, it was so fun. The part I liked best was that it challenged me to draw.”

“This class taught me to bring creativity into my life. I learned that drawing and coloring is fun and relieves stress. I also learned ways to use sketching in my lessons as formative assessments and to help students remember concepts.”

“It was inspiring and I learned techniques I could take into the classroom and use right away!”

“I loved getting back to taking some creative time for myself. I loved thinking about ways I can implement these ideas in my classroom, even at a high school level.”

“I love the push to get out of your comfort zone and create. I am a perfectionist so I needed that push and I have loved the benefits I have received from this course.”

“The intentional use of the sketchbook allowed me to follow through on the lessons we were learning, and I am thankful for the interactive discussion boards that made me feel like I was part of a larger community of folks working on these skills.”

“I loved the knowledge I gained as well as the practical in class application!”

“I liked the variety of articles and videos to watch that showed examples, gave ideas, and research behind drawing and its benefits.”

“I liked the variety of learning resources (videos, articles, drawing examples, etc…) that were provided in this course. I also appreciated the diversity of learning activities that we were asked to complete.”

“I loved the resources and articles that were provided with specific ideas for implementing art, drawing, and sketchbooks both into my classroom and in my personal life.”

“I really enjoyed watching the videos you posted and seeing you actually create what we were learning. I also loved all the ideas about adding drawing as an assessment in class and the evidence to support it!
I can’t wait to draw out some new things in class next year! Also, one of the articles gave such great ideas to get the community involved and I’m going to try a few out!”

“This was a great experience. Although I am an art teacher, and well versed in the use of sketchbooks, I was able to try new techniques, give myself the time to sketch, create a great lesson plan to use, and create a community plan to use with my staff in the fall, so it was very productive!”

“Thank you, it made me feel JOY! Thank you for taking the time and care for creating such a fun course. I would take it again if I could because it was so worth it!”

“I loved connecting sketch booking to a growth mindset!”

:This was one of the best classes that I have taken for applying what I learned in the classroom. I am excited to use drawing and sketching in all of my classes that I teach and it will benefit all my students.”
