Description:

Sketchbook: Inside/Outside is a location-based drawing class, which explores the vibrant San Francisco Bay Area. Students will utilize their sketchbooks to record observations, inspirations, and details useful for later illustrations. Students are encouraged to try different approaches and materials, and to push their critical observation and thinking. The intent of this class is for students to establish a holistic approach to their art-making, in order to have a sustainable lifelong practice. By merging sketching, notation, photography, and ideation, students will gain a greater understanding of how to develop full and engaging environments for their illustrations. Class will be spent mostly on site*, and sketches will be reviewed on a weekly basis. Students should be prepared to utilize public transportation, and for a good deal of walking. (If you have any questions concerning physical accommodations, please get in touch before the start of class). *During Covid19 restrictions, Sketchbook:Inside/Outside will be meeting online until it is deemed safe to return to our usual schedule.
