The Sketchbook Project

The Sketchbook Project

I have recently signed up to the Sketchbook Project. The goal is to fill a small sketchbook and submit it to the Brooklyn Art Library where it can be viewed by visitors or online. When I signed up to the project I really had no idea what theme I would use to fill the pages. I was browsing in Value Village and found a book of Jack Johnson sheet music for his album Bushfire Fairytales. Although I didn’t know his music I bought it, thinking that the pages of sheet music might be good for collage. I discovered the beautiful imagery in the lyrics and decided to make them the inspiration to fill my sketchbook. I am really enjoying thinking about and making the pages, it just feels like unadulterated play.
