Week One Lesson

April 14th-17th, 2020

Make Your Own Sketchbook!

I miss you all and would love to see your work! If you have any questions or want to send pictures of what you're creating, you can email me: mallory.neidenthal@nhcs.net

As we begin our at-home art lessons, we will be starting by making our very own scketchbooks that we can use for lessons in the weeks to come. There are lots of different ways to make a sketchbook so I am providing you with options depending on what supplies you have at home. They also range in level of difficulty, so pick what works best for you and what you have!

Video Demonstration

Watch the video to see me demonstrate how to make your own sketchbook. I am showing you three different options in this video. You can watch it through first and then go create on your own, or create along with me and pause the video when you need to take more time. Enjoy and have fun making!


Now Decorate the Cover!

Once you create your own sketchbook, be sure to decorate the cover! Feel free to decorate how you'd like or you can watch the video below to see how I used the process of collage to create one of my covers.
