Developing a Sketchbook Practice: Fun and easy approaches for beginners
About this event
Instructor: Paula Vander
If you feel wistful watching someone capture their experiences in a sketchbook, this class is for you. We will take baby steps through a variety of warm-up exercises to conquer the classic enemies of creativity—fear of the blank page and perfectionism. Together, we’ll have fun, embrace wonkiness, and trust that if we focus on quantity, quality will follow. The materials list will be discussed in the first class, and each week we’ll focus on the basic topics listed below.
Week 1: Line
Week 2: Composition
Week 3: Shape
Week 4: Value
Week 5: Colour
Week 6: Perspective
