May 21 2020 Intro to Sketchbook Journal

Attendance

Self Guided Reading 20 min

Intro to Sketchbook Journal: 

As the name suggests, it is a book (duo tang in our case) containing both sketches/drawings and personal history/observations/journal entries. It is an outlet for visual expression and artistic creativity. This will be your book and your work. 

Every Friday (and possibly on some other days) we will be working in our Sketchbook Journals. 

I recommend that you bring your own pencil crayons/colours on Fridays. If you do choose to use the class set you will need to sanitize these thereafter if it is a morning class. 

Today's Entry Prompt:

We all have bad days. Make a list of things that bothered you today. (min 5) 

Then - make a list of what made today great. (min 5) 

Take some time to draw/sketch something on a blank page re: what made today/this week great.

It’s about working together to overcome the devastating effects of colonization. What is colonization?  In  Canada ,  colonization  occurred when a new group of people migrated to North America, took over and began to control Indigenous Peoples. Colonizers impose their own cultural values, religions, and laws, make policies that did not/do not favour Indigenous Peoples.
