According to the Curriculum Guide, the process of responding provides students with opportunities to respond to their own and other artists’ works
and processes, and in so doing develop the skills of critical analysis, interpretation, evaluation, reflection and communication. The creating strand provides
opportunities for students to explore their personal interests, beliefs and values and to engage in a personal artistic journey. Hence, all PYP 3-6 students should
have an A4 size sketch book. Objective of having a sketch book is for students to

become increasingly independent in the realization of the creative process
select, research and develop an idea or theme for an artwork
develop an awareness of their personal preference
works as documentation for students’ progress & development
record own findings and reflection each week
The sketch book can also become their portfolio, where all their work is compiled & documented.
