Sketchbook Travel Adventures
Did you go on a great trip or plan one? And you want to get creative with your travel memories? Join us at SGSCC for this fun, creative class, get crafty and create a piece of art out of your memories. Sketchbook Travel Adventures is a platform for documenting and revisiting a journey you have taken or plan to take. You will creatively map out an adventure using your journey, imagination, dreams, and perhaps nostalgia. You will learn how to use a sketchbook effectively when travelling. There will be examples of sketchbooks and demonstrations in how to collect, combine and use collage, drawing, and paint media effectively.
You will also build up a portable collection of tools you can take with you wherever you go. Your visual journey need not be taken anywhere exotic. Something as simple as a local walk can be expanded upon and developed into something rich and interesting. You may already have a collection of travel notes, drawings, or photographs you wish to document or you may like to prepare the ground for an adventure in the future.
