Think of a sketchbook as a portable, versatile, and close companion. In this class, we'll help you to develop sketchbooking confidence and launch a working journal. There are an inspiring range of ways to use pencil, ink, and color in your own on-the-go "studio." We'll work on visual art exercises, texture-building tricks, mixing media, and developing ideas using step-by-step techniques. You'll practice ways of effectively creating meaningful content, and learn how to approach thinking and design. Experimentation and risk-taking will be encouraged. Whether you want to depict people, architecture, or your inner thoughts, you'll learn to trust your natural thinking process, develop confidence, and enjoy the sketchbook as a place to store your meaningful thoughts and ideas. You will need a journal and drawing materials. Other supply ideas will be mentioned in class.
