This project will kickstart your creativity throughout the coming year and beyond. It will develop practical skills and critical thinking to support your 2025 art practice.
You are tasked with using a sketchbook to study, record, experiment, sketch, write and paste (photos, images). If you commit to this habit I guarantee it will serve you well.
To do -
Get yourself a sketchbook. Put it on your Christmas list! It needn't be the most expensive watercolour sketchbook – sturdy cartridge paper is just fine.
Design a title page '2025' – do this between Christmas and New Year if you can – have fun with it!
Make a weekly entry (at least). I will supply weekly prompts which you can use, or not - if you have other ideas go with them!
Bring your sketchbooks to class each week and we can discuss each others ideas in class.
Think of your sketchbook as your own imaginarium.
My cover. I thought I'd use the computer to plan it out as I wanted a bit of text but then I decided that drawing it by hand would not add anything to it so I just printed it as is
I do like crisp lettering!
