Sketchbook Ideas

Looking for fresh sketchbook ideas for your art students? These resources make drawing approachable and engaging for young artists. Whether they’re exploring patterns, practicing skills, or sketching from imagination, you’ll find drawing prompts that fit any class.

This collection includes fall, winter, spring, and summer directed drawing booklets, each showing students how to draw seasonal objects in four simple steps. You’ll also find my popular interactive fan deck of doodles and patterns and an editable art choice board with dozens of prompts to inspire free expression.

These sketchbook ideas work well for bellringers, early finishers, and independent practice. They help build drawing confidence, encourage creative thinking, and make it easy to keep students engaged all year long.
