Over the course of ten weeks we will develop an understanding of how to use a sketchbook to record information on site and develop work creatively in the studio. The work in the sketchbook could be seen as preparation for a larger scale work or as finished piece in itself.

Course programme
You will be encouraged to work with drawing, photography and collage in response to an initial site visit. You will be taught how to visualise and to consider composition, as well as the structure of the sketchbook to create a rich and varied resource. By the end of the course your sketchbook will be seen as a whole, with its own visual qualities that relate to the surface quality and the progression of visual themes.
