    I, too, believe in sketchbooks and I have had to draw many things myself
    that I did not want to draw...but in the long run, I feel that drawing
    assignments are good and I do agree that students should sometimes be
    allowed freedom in their choice of sketching. Sometimes, I find that when I
    tell students to "bring in a drawing"...YIKES!...it's of nearly nothing.

    I do find that students in the more advanced classes do not need assigned
    drawings...they can always come up with ideas that THEY want to draw. I
    "play it by ear" with my students.

    I have a sketchbook that stays with me...I have finally found one that I'm
    comfortable with...it's 8-1/2 x 11" and spiral bound. I use it for drawings
    and also for jotting down notes and ideas for lessons. My students love to
    go through it.
