Fancy yourself an artist? Thinking Tree has just the journal for you! Open-ended prompts lead you on creative adventures of your own making. Challenge pages ask you to draw a variety of images, even feelings. What would brave look like?
Your student will need access to library books and some online access to videos or documentaries (not linked). There is some planning your student will practice, such as time management and setting goals. They will be choosing what artists to explore via their library selections. These are not in the journal.
Pages are repeated several times, and students will use your various library books to complete the formatted activities. Where is the artist from? What is unique about their work? Write a short biography.
This is not a high school art program that will count as a credit on a transcript.
Many of the Thinking Tree journals are designed for students with learning struggles. Their appeal is often that they are flexible and not too demanding. When you see “Majoring in Art” on the cover, that is a fun way for a student to think about themselves creatively, not literally a high school student who will go on to major in art in college. ~Sara
