Thursday 2nd June 2011

I am very much enjoying 'Think inside the sketchbook', a nsead publication by Gillian Robinson, Alison Mountain and David Hulston.

It is very beautiful and feels nice as well as being full of images and ideas for using the sketchbook in ways that become part of the creative process. As well as detailing some wonderful examples, it has quotes like: "Learning to think is less a matter of instruction than of experience and opportunity." (Frank Smith)

I particularly like it because it is full of good, informative, exciting images; the introduction includes this sentence which sums it up nicely:"Sketchbooks are visual things, and we hope the images accompanying the text will serve as both inspiration and challenge."


I would highly recommend this to all teachers (and to anybody else who would like to be reminded about the power of the sketchbook as a working tool).
