The Artist and the Sketchbook

Cultivate a regular sketchbook practice to develop new ideas, stay accountable to your creative goals, and refine the direction of your work. Explore sketching, collaging, painting, and writing, as you investigate how the personal nature of an artist's sketchbook can catapult work to the next level. During one class meeting, handmade sketchbooks are made using an array of book construction methods. You will also review the history of artists' sketchbooks and visit the Art Institute of Chicago for inspiration.

This class is taught by Frances Lightbound.

Registration closes at noon on Monday, September 29th. 

No class on Saturday, November 29th.
