From Sketchbook to Portfolio: Teacher Toolkit

We are two teachers that have a design and a traditional visual arts background, and that use sketchbooks as a daily tool. We collaborated closely when drafting lower secondary, IGCSE and IB DP Schemes of Work to ensure maximal alignment in building up sketchbook skills. This is an ideal way to enable students to track and visualise their progress.
This presentation aims to equip visual arts educators with practical strategies to transform the sketchbook from a passive notebook into a dynamic tool that directly feeds into IB DP portfolio and IGCSE coursework. Designed for all secondary art teachers, it addresses the challenge of guiding students toward sustained experimentation, meaningful annotation, and reflective practice.

Participants will explore structured sketchbook routines: observational drawing prompts, artist analysis templates, and layouts that can be used to organise information on the page.

Participants will leave with a ready-to-use teacher toolkit and knowledge of the advantages and ways to use a sketchbook as a routine in and outside the classroom.
