For students who already are using a sketchbook to record visual ideas and research, this course is designed to extend the scope of how an art and design sketchbook can operate as a tool to record visual images to reveal a more focussed personal visual language for a particular range of media and techniques. The emphasis will be on following and sustaining themes and lines of enquiry over the duration of the course which are ready to be expanded and developed into more resolved works out with the sketchbook. |
