Sketchbooks are a vital part of our class!
How many pages should to create per week?
7 or more per week is the minimum…there’s no maximum.
Be prepared to share your sketchbook in class at any time and always have it with you. Work in your sketchbook as often as you like and create as many pages as you are inspired to. Of course the more you work in it, the more you’ll want to so you might just find yourself opening it up every single day to add a little something to the pages here and there. Work through all project ideas and more in your sketchbook. There’s no rule that says you have to work in just one book at a time so you might want to mix it up a bit and have several different ones going at once. Maybe one for wet media such as acrylic and watercolors, one for pen and ink and one for collage. Feel free to have separate pages that you can just stick into the sketchbook.
How many pages should you create in the end? Your goal is to have a finished book by mid- November.
Also, keep in mind there will most likely be a sketchbook competition:
Suggestions: You can work in any medium that you like – paint, watercolor, pen & ink, charcoal, collage, marker, crayon or something else. Use this as an opportunity to explore a medium that you’ve never tried. Your sketchbook should be a reflection of you and you should feel free to explore and work in any mediums that you want. Write anything you want as well. Think about designing the outside to make it your own. You may be inspired to make your own book from scratch. Carry it with you at all times to use it as you would a camera, to capture inspirational moments or gather objects to place inside.
