Visual Art Sketchbook, Bookbinding Bundle: Seven DIY Sketchbook Lessons

In each of my visual arts classes I have my students make their own sketchbook. This bookbinding bundle pack includes five different bookbinding techniques on creating sketchbooks from scratch, a lesson on creating a book jacket, and a lesson on personalizing a sketchbook.

In each art class, my students learn a new book binding technique: creating a book out of a manila folder, an accordion style sketchbook, a coptic style sketchbook, a Belgian bound style book, making a book jacket, and personalizing an already bound book. This introduces them to a range of sketchbook styles and encourages them to take ownership of their sketchbooks by decorating and personalizing them. 

This bundle provides you with seven different lessons to use in seven different art courses. All in all the following are included in this bundle:
