“A sketch book is the workshop for the mind”
Half term on 28th May 2020
The aim of this course is to develop the skills required to produce sketchbooks which are an inspiration, and which contain all the nuts and bolts of experimentation. A sketchbook – like life – should reflect the life and times of the artist, including the mishaps and the triumphs. They should be both revealing and indecipherable, ultimately assisting the artist in mastering their creativity.

Over the 10 weeks there will be tasks which lead you into new territories of ideas and approaches to image making, some may appear collaborative and others as a result of private study, some may appear alien and some familiar. Importantly, however, you will develop a process which will sustain you throughout your creative lives.
During the 10 weeks we will explore the following FIVE themes with each session having indepth discussion on relevant artist, working on your sketchbook and individual discussions/crits :
Week 1 and 2: Translating objects
Week 3 and 4: Narrative/allegory
Week 5 and 6: Place
Week 7 and 8: Emotion
Week 9 and 10: Muster
