I love drawing, painting… plain old sketching. It’s something I had to do lots of when I was in design school and I loved every minute of it. The liberty to draw anything that inspires you is somewhat inspiring (pun intended). But unfortunately my sketchbooks are stored away in my office and aren’t being used any longer. I miss drawing… you have no idea. I wish I would take the time to whip out my pencils and just draw. When I saw this : The Sketchbook Project I got all excited. A great way to get back into sketching… and with a purpose (no stored away sketchbooks that will never be seen)
“Thousands of sketchbooks will be exhibited at galleries and museums as they make their way on tour across the country.
After the tour, all sketchbooks will enter into the permanent collection of The Brooklyn Art Library, where they will be barcoded and available for the public to view.
Anyone – from anywhere in the world – can be a part of the project. To participate and have us send you a sketchbook that will go on tour, start by choosing a theme to the right.”
Do you like sketching? If so, what motivates you to take the pencil and paper and just… draw?
And… will you participate in The Sketchbook Project?
