Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this writing class:

How do artists use sketchbooks? There is no right or wrong way to use a sketchbook! In this class you will learn one artist’s way of using one (or several) sketchbooks. Students of the class will learn how to make a regular practice of getting ideas into their sketchbook, where to look for inspiration, what to do with the work once you have it, and how to talk about your work with peers. 

The final product will be one or more (started) sketchbooks and a bit of critical writing about that work. This can be a casual art practice or one that leads to a larger body of work!
