Many artists employ sketchbooks to capture journaling exercises and inspire finished pieces of art. This expressive class will utilize collage to create uniquely personalized sketchbooks in one continuous story that unfolds over fanning pages like an accordion rather than a traditional book. Students find this class and book form to be highly inspirational in creating momentum, flow and artistic storytelling.
In this two-day class you will be given a Seawhite of Brighton Concertina Sketchbook to create an unfolding story emerging over the pages of the book. We will use acrylic paints, inks, markers, colored pencils, charcoal and carbon pencils, wax crayons, paper pieces, handmade papers, stencils, cloth, scraps and other materials using water-based adhesives to create colorful sketchbooks. There is a $40 materials fee payable directly to the instructor on the first day. While the instructor will bring many materials, students are highly encouraged to bring special papers, found objects, odd pieces and copied photographs to add to their sketchbook journal. All skill levels are welcome. Wear old clothes or an apron.
