Sketching from a Source and Using Photocopies to Develop a Sketchbook Approach

Sheila Ceccarelli led two sketchbook sessions to encourage teenagers from AccessArt’s Experimental Drawing Class to develop a ‘sketchbook approach’. In the first week teenagers practiced sketching from a source (the river and trees) and then in the second worked in the studio using photocopies (of the river and tree drawings) to create abstracted collages.

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.”
