Today, we will embark on a creative journey to design our very own sketchbook covers. This lesson will not only enhance your artistic skills but also allow you to express your uniqueness and individuality through your artwork.
To kick things off, I have a surprise for you! Under your seats, you’ll find a mystery box filled with a variety of sketchbooks. However, these books are closed up tight, and you can't see their designs yet!

Now, it’s time for the big reveal! One by one, I will ask groups to pick a sketchbook from the mystery box and share it with the class. As each group presents their sketchbook, think about:
Keep your favorite ideas in mind, as they may inspire your own sketchbook cover design!
To wrap up this warm-up, take out your notebooks and write a short reflection (4-5 sentences) on what elements you would like to include in your sketchbook cover design. Consider aspects like color, imagery, patterns, and personal interests.
Now that we've sparked some creative thoughts and explored different inspirations, it’s time to dive into our main activity! You will begin designing and creating your own unique sketchbook cover. Remember, this is an opportunity to showcase your style and creativity—so let your imagination run wild!
By beginning with this engaging introduction, students will feel excited and motivated to create their sketchbook covers, setting a positive tone for the rest of the lesson!
