Block 2 27th Feb - 20th March SKETCHY STUFF
What you’ll need for this session: a sketchbook of any size (doesn't need to be new) or some cartridge paper; a selection from the following list: pencils, pens, charcoal, watercolour, ink, pastels, collage materials.
Week 1. As well as some of the above items, bring in a sketch book that already has some of your work in it. This is so we can look at the many ways people use their sketch books. Possibilities include mindfulness, note-taking, diary, painting preparation – or maybe you don’t normally use a sketch book at all.
I’ve divided likely uses into
1.Note keeping (a store for ideas to explore and develop with mind-maps, quotes, samples etc, a journal to record places, textures, objects that capture your attention, a recipe book recording how you’ve done things)
2 Diary (a visual record of your skills development, reminders of your experiences)
3.Therapy (a relaxed space for experimenting and unlocking creativity, doodling, processing your thoughts and feelings, meditation and mindfulness)
