Sketchbook Development Online Course (Dichotomies)
Monday Evenings, Online, 7-9:30pm (NYC Time)
Looking to build or refine your sketchbook practice? Join me Monday evenings (NYC Time!) on Zoom for the months of April, May, and June and fill a sketchbook with me!
Each week we'll look at examples of how sketchbooks have been used by both historic and contemporary artists, and we'll develop prompts to keep us moving forward in our own practice. We'll look at material studies, composition concepts, anatomical ideas, landscape strategies, reference uses, and a lot more! Sketchbooks are all about studying, exploring, playing, and making art for ourselves (no deadlines for shows or commissions here!) Building a personalized sketchbook practice takes time, and throughout this online course (and with the support of our peers), we'll work towards filling up a sketchbook and do just that! This course has been designed to allow for a ton of breathability- sketchbooks are a personal thing, and you're welcome to take the material in whatever way you'd like- as such, the course is suitable for anybody interested, regardless of their level of experience.
This round we'll explore "dichotomies" as prompts (such as interior/exterior!)
There will be a lecture/demo each class session, as well as an abundance of instructor feedback to help you move forward with your work!
Class dates: 4/3 - 6/26
April
3, 10, 17, 24
May
1, 8, 15, 22 (no class 5/29)
June

Total: 12 Sessions
Each Zoom session will be recorded, and will be posted to our online learning platform 1 or 2 days after the class session occurs. So no worries if you can't make it to all the live sessions!
Come join me Monday evenings for a fun 12 weeks filled with sketching!
Materials:
I'll be making use of a wide range of materials for this course, so you'll be able to see that and use whatever you'd like.
Whatever you're comfortable with is absolutely fine + a sketchbook of your choice.
I've created a materials list based on the media I use most often in my own sketchbook practice, and you'll have access to that once you pay for the course.
