    Holly,

    I'd check out the library for catalogs of museum and gallery exhibitions as
    well as sketchbooks, ask for inter-library loans - check out the internet -
    there's a site for Da Vinci's drawings I'm sure - he has a combination of
    anatomy sketches and his imaginary machines...and his writings which were in
    a mirror script...Dale Chilhully has a web site of his glass work and
    drawings...

    Other artists: Cartier Bresson stopped doing photography to sketch full
    time, David Hockney's drawings are incredible, Picasso kept extensive
    sketchbooks throughout his life to work out 2-D and 3-D problems, and don't
    forget Women and African American artists. Also, architects...theatre, set
    and costume designers - Julie Taymor did the costume and set designs for
    Disney's Broadway show "The Lion King" based on animals and African Art that
    are really something. What about car designers?

    If kids see that real live "artists" keep sketchbooks, it might help them to
    understand why they're helpful and what the Artists use them for.
