摘要:I recently had the pleasure of sharing my article, "Iconology: An Alternate Form of Writing" (published in the first Plymouth State College Writing Across the Curriculum journal in the fall of '89) with Terry Downs, a colleague in my department. This article, which described an artist's sketchbook as a journal and its importance in the development of visual literacy, impressed Terry because he, too, has always required a sketchbook in his classes. At the beginning of each semester, Terry and I each show the students in our classes some pages from our sketchbooks as a model for how sketchbooks have worked for us in our art. A sample fragment of Terry's sketchbook and my sketchbook are displayed on the following pages.
