Benjamin Campbell: Sketchbook as an Artist Tool
@ Dispatch Gallery
Online
Opening Sunday, April 23rd, from 2PM - 3PM
A sketchbook is one of the best tools an artist can have to explore ideas and create space for art practice. Working in your book is one of the most effective ways of finding space for art in your day-to-day life amidst all the pressures of life and capitalism that can obstruct our art practice. We will explore the practice of using a sketchbook from start to finish, with the goal of creating sustainable and ongoing sketchbook and journal practice. We will discuss tools and prompts that will be useful to artists of any experience level. Participants will need a notebook, sketchbook, or journal (can use loose paper if necessary). Drawing and writing materials of choice.
