Walking Sketchbooks

Sheila Ceccarelli introduced teenagers at AccessArt’s Experimental Drawing Class to developing ‘walking sketchbooks’ or walking, looking and sketching at the same time.

'Walking Sketchbooks' - Walking, looking, sketching
‘Walking Sketchbooks’ – Walking, looking, sketching

 

Inspired by animator Betsy Dadd’s workshop at St Bede’s Inter-Church School, where students were encouraged to walk and sketch at the same time, Sheila encouraged her students to explore drawing and using sketchbooks in an experimental way to make observations about the environment surrounding them.
