So today I'm joining the Sketchbook Challenge that my friend has started up @ her art store/gallery, ARTiculations! ... The idea really comes from a bigger, worldwide project ... The 2013 Sketchbook Project that launches April 18th, 2012.
At her gallery, she's challenged artists and non-artists alike to start sketching again and fill up the half-filled books we may have laying around. The duration of the challenge is 30 days and the sketchbooks will be exhibited on April 12th. Simple, yet very intriguing idea that I have decided I want to take part in. No one really pays much attention to the doodles and lines inside of a sketchbook, as much as they do to the end result that covers the surface of a canvas ... but looking inside of a sketchbook, is looking inside the mind of an artist, the thought process, the errors, the "happy mistakes" ... all the journey that results in brilliance, in ART!
What I love, is that a sketchbook can be as simple or as complicated as you'd like to make it. I'll start mine and keep you posted and in the meantime join the challenge?
