This document provides instructions for creating a good sketchbook for art students. It recommends including annotations of ideas, inspirations from various sources not just online, research on artists, layout of work, and documentation of one's own artwork. It advises beginning with research, printing things out as you go along rather than waiting until the deadline, and gathering secondary materials while focusing on producing one's own work. It also recommends continuous annotation describing work and linking it to other artists' work, recording techniques, and continuing experimentation and development of ideas towards a final outcome.
The presentation will give you a good understanding about the significance, meaning and the types of designing elements and principles. For more visit our website https://www.admecindia.co.in/.

Choice-Based art is a teaching philosophy for the student centered classroom. When student are given more opportunities to make choices they become better decision makers. This is how I execute the Choice classroom model in High School.

How to Write an Art Review
Ever thought about writing an art review for your blog or local paper?
Writing art reviews is a great way to meet people and build your credentials. It also provides good practice for honing your eye. You can’t help learning when you look
closely and critically at lots of art.
For a number of years I wrote art reviews for various local publications and even a couple of national publications. I’m a little rusty, but here are some tips on writing about
art exhibits in galleries, art centers, and museums.
1. Make sure there’s something you will like at the exhibit. It’s hard to write about art that doesn’t spark something in you. The artist’s story may come into play, but
your focus for a review is on the art, not the artist.
2. Visit the exhibit at a good time. You don’t want to go when there are tours or sketching sessions in the galleries. You want the space mostly to yourself. You want
quiet. Call the venue and ask them to suggest the best time to come. If the person answering the phone doesn’t seem to know much, ask to speak to the education office,
curator, or public relations officer.
Plan on spending at least an hour in the galleries.
3. Bring a pen, notepad, and voice recorder–depending on how you work best. I used to travel up to an hour to review an exhibit. It was nice to have the recorder to help
me process my ideas on the ride home.
Check with the venue ahead of time and see if it’s okay to take photos.

4. Scan the galleries and get a feel for the installation (how the work is hung or installed). Are the works in chronological order? Grouped by subject matter or by artist?
How has the curator made sense of the large grouping? Use this information to give your reader a sense of being there.
5. Select three or four artworks or artists to highlight in your article. These are pieces you will describe and talk about by title. Spend most of your time with these
works. Sit in front of each one for long periods of time. Write down every detail so you can describe it for your reader.
Note the correct attributions for the art: artist’s name, title, media, date, size (if available). Pick up a list of works on view or copy the text from the labels. Double check your
spelling.
6. Select one thing to criticize. If you like everything, your readers will get suspicious. But you don’t have to be as critical as you might think.
I have been known to harp about lighting, display cases, installation, traffic flow, label text, and label styling. I’ve also knocked the way a show was organized (e.g. the juror
was anonymous). You might find fault with an artist’s technique, matting (boy, don’t get me started on poor matting!), framing, artistic choices and clichés, or craftsmanship.

4. Directions

have done and your opinions as you do it as well as
showing a clear link between your work and the work of
others is crucial.
6. Descriptions of artistic techniques recorded in bullet
points.
7. Continue to experiment with ideas working towards a
final outcome including artistic experimentation,
research into artists and other subjects related to your
ideas.
5. Frequently asked Questions
• What order does my sketchbook go in?
The order that you do it in. Make sure that
you put everything in as you go along.
Try not to leave spaces as this will then change
the order and therefore it will not be the
natural progression of your project. It should
show the development of ideas, a bit like
telling a story.
6. • Do I need to fill my sketchbook?
No, its quality not quantity, as long as you make
sure you have covered all the things asked of you
by your tutors to the best of your ability.
7. What should I write in my
sketchbook?
• Describe what you have do in class. Describe each
image that you include in your sketchbook in some
detail write about the materials and techniques you
used, why you did it what were your ideas, and what
influenced you ?
• Write about what went well and what did not work so
well and why?
• Refer to artists that have influenced your experiments
and/or the activity your tutor assigned or artists given
to you to research by tutors.
8. What should I write in my
sketchbook?
• Write about any problems you have encountered
and how you have solved them.
• What are you going to do next.
• Take notes at all lectures, PowerPoint presentations,
demonstrations and any one to one tuition your
receive about your own experiments.
• Make lists of things you need to do.
9. How many artists do I research?
As many as possible that are relevant to your project/work; these
should depend on who you find when researching ideas for your work
as well as the ones suggested by tutors.
Do not write lots of biographical details about the artist unless asked to
this is irrelevant! Do not include artists CV’s or lists of their exhibitions
etc.
It is more important to tell us about the artists ideas and themes in
their work and how this influences you.
10. Other bits of useful info...
• Do not just draw in pencil in your sketchbook. Be
creative and try as many different mark making tools
in your sketchbook when drawing.
• If your writing is difficult to read, type it up
• Do not use brightly coloured pages, you will not get
extra marks for this.
• Do not Leave bits of loose paper in the sketchbook.
• Do not leave blank pages in between
• Come prepared to class with your sketchbook, pritt
sticks and pens, plus any other artists equipment you
will need for each lesson.
11. Finally....
Make your sketchbook interesting, inspiring,
neat but also a working sketchbook so not
PERFECT, individual... Make it your own!
Do not rip out work you do not like, instead
explain what went wrong and what you would
do differently next time.
Editor's Notes
It’s a bit like when you tell a joke and get the order wrong, it doesn’t make sense and is no longer funny!!
