Kate

Kate was one of the nominated “Meet my sketchbook” pupils.

“My sketchbook is unique and personal to me. I like working in my sketchbook as it is a place for me to express my deepest feelings and I can let my imagination run wild.

I most enjoy working in my sketchbook if I am in a creative mood and my imagination is full of ideas – I need to put it down on paper in some form. My sketchbook becomes a place where I can ‘loose’ myself, perhaps if I have had a bad day. Through my artwork, I can release my feelings and express my thoughts.

My sketchbook is my place to also explore new ideas and experiment. Sometimes it goes right but other times my ideas don’t work so I adapt them so they do work and are successful.

Before producing a final design, I use my sketchbook to research the work of artists, and collect pictures of their work. I then explore techniques and produce ideas and designs which are annotated. From that I can start my final piece, always testing new ideas before putting them on my final work.”
