Abstract:
The sketching of geological features and objects played an important role
in the development of the geosciences. Geological sketches may not be as
commonly used for documentation purposes any longer, but may facilitate
learning and understanding. By sketching geological features, the eye is
trained to observe; this furthers understanding, and so improves study results.

Keywords:
Sketches, documentation, history, geoscience, learning, understanding
