Mixed Media: Creative Sketchbook

A sketchbook is a very personal thing. You may use it as a means of exploring your ideas. It may be an illustrated journal of what is going on in your life. For me my sketchbooks serve many functions. I draw, paint, collage, and write, I try out new materials and imagery. I also insert loose sketches that I have done on random sheets of paper, such as: paper towels, placemats, menus or postcards. For this class we will be exploring many ways of creating imagery in sketchbooks. We will cover basic drawing and rendering techniques, as well as, discovering new ways of combining styles and methods on the road to greater creativity and personal expression.

This class is taught in English.

We will NOT have class the week of Thanksgiving.

Some courses may involve tasks or activities that may be difficult for individuals with limited strength, difficulty bending over, and sitting or standing for long periods of time. We are happy to work with students to find solutions to make their experience positive and doable. For example, wheel throwing takes arm strength and bending over the wheel. Students may work on hand-building projects instead of throwing. Please reach out to our office to discuss your needs.
