  1. TheSKETCHBOOK

  2. The Sketchbook is an important part of the Design Process But Why a Sketchbook?

  3. To: • brainstorm ideas, both good and bad • explore & refine ideas • develop variations, alternatives, details • save your ideas for later • “show” instead of “tell” • record ideas you see • collect and insert photos or other images from various sources

  4. How to Use your Sketchbook To Develop Creative Habits, Use your Sketchbook regularly! You don’t need to be an artist to sketch! Sketching is about getting and collecting ideas. Your sketches are your plans and your blueprints for your projects!

  5. Types of Sketchbooks Some things to consider when selecting a sketchbook: • Durability (covers, bindings, paper quality) • Page count • Size (6” x 9” – 8 ½” x 11”) • Foldability • Overall look/aesthetic

  6. Types of Sketchbooks • Good Sketchbook Examples:

  7. Types of Sketchbooks • Poor/Bad Sketchbook Examples:

  8. Sketchbook Materials • Sharpies – 1 fine point & one extra fine point, black • Additional materials based on student needs

  9. Tips on Sketching DRAW IN YOUR SKETCHBOOK WITH SHARPIES! Sketches are sketches—meant for planning or preparation, not as a finished drawing. ERASING IS TIME CONSUMING—sketches are not meant to be perfect drawings. In my class—sketching is Visual Brainstorming, meant to be quick and rough. Excessive erasing will slow you down and interfere with the creative process. DON’T DO IT!!!

  10. SKETCHBOOKS WILL BE CHECKED WITH EACH PROJECT—this will count 10 points toward your final grade for the project! From time to time, there will also be spot checks to make sure you are working in your sketchbook

  11. SKETCHING EXERCISES

On the left side write “Date & Time Begin” and on the right put “Date & Time End” –keep accurate records of your time spent working in your sketchbook.
