Anne:
I would use:
Communication artifacts; art; drawing; sketchbook
If all the pages are loose I would probably give each page its own identification number or at least a letter so that it did not get lost from the group (using sub-letters helps with this.) Paper items should be numbered gently, but clearly in pencil since it is removable, non-fading, and durable.
