What We Like About This Resource….

“The research phase of a creative project can be presented in many different ways, and can even be an art form in itself. Here, Tatyana demonstrates how her sketchbooks became a medium through which she expressed her thoughts, refined her ideas and explored materials. We believe sketchbooks to be a powerful tool for children to take ownership of their ideas and travel on their own creative journey, without necessarily knowing the destination. Take a look at our sketchbook journey for more sketchbook inspiration” – Rachel, AccessArt.

Jonathan Ford – Sculptor’s Sketchbooks

Jonathan Ford, sculptor, shares his sculptors sketchbooks.

“All drawings were part of the evolution of Meth V, a creature who now lives at the Jerwood Sculpture Park. Processes involved the collection of boxes & boxes of images from magazines, books and pamphlets. The images were then cut with scissors and drawn onto or transformed into part of Meth V. No scanning or computer involvement was used for these images.”
