Sketchbook 101 (online)

Tell your story using pictures and words by keeping a regular sketchbook practice. Weekly prompts will be given to inspire and help students find their own style to describe their experience in the world. A variety of art materials will be explored in the assignments encouraging students to discover which materials they find pleasing to work with. Students will also create their own sketchbook kit that can be kept at home or picked up easily on the way out the door! Hand lettering will also be a part of the visual focus and included in the regular instructor art and illustration demos. Page by page, these sketchbooks will grow and take form revealing to each student their own visual voice. Take a risk and liberate yourself!
