LESSON 01 / SHOW & TELL

GOALS /
__ introduce our work and how we’ve used sketchbooks or idea containers
__ discuss materials
__ learn more ways other artists have used sketchbooks
__ discover ways to loosen up as we draw together
__ hear about the lesson for SESSION 2 Facing The Blank Page

ASSIGNMENT DESCRIPTION /
we will start off by going deeper into our creative practices. consider the following: what subject matter are you interested in? is there something you return to again and again? are there ideas you’d like to explore but haven’t? how do you express yourself creatively outside of art?

have you ever used a sketchbook and how does it relate to your other creative expressions? besides a physical sketchbook, what other containers have you used to contain ideas? binders, folders, boxes, drawers, apps, etc.? how do you let ideas flow through without inhibition?


BRING TO ZOOM MEETUP /

__ either digital or physical examples of your work – you can screen share a few images or make a slide show. you can play us a song or read a poem, just bring something to share that reflects your creative life.
__ for our drawing time: a pencil and/or pen, sketchbook and 2 loose sheets of paper
