For anyone new to my blog, the Sketchbook Project is an art experience in which you sign up and are sent a sketchbook, fill it out by a deadline, and then mail it back at which point it will go on tour around the world or select regions for certain projects before going into permanent residence at the Brooklyn Library of Art.
This is the third year that I have participated in the Sketchbook Project and I love it so much, and I greatly recommend it to anyone! Regardless of if you are an artist or not, they encourage submissions from anyone and everyone! If you're interested in getting involved, they are currently running a special winter project, with a deadline in 2015. Here is a link to check that project out if anyone is interested: http://www.sketchbookproject.com/participate
This year, I had my sketchbook shipped back to my house so I could have it to work on while I was on winter break. This gave me about two and a half weeks to work on it, so I chose to rebind it to have fewer pages for me to tackle. While I'm at school, I don't have a lot of time to do art, but I do actively collect any materials that catch my eye for collage, so I brought my envelope of collected materials home to use on this sketchbook. My sketchbook is collaged cut outs with watercolors and pop-up pages.
This is the first year that I seriously considered not sending my sketchbook back because I love this book so much, and am so happy with how it all turned out.
My sketchbook theme is "Say Words Out Loud"
In keeping with my Sketchbook Project traditions, I have created a little video showing a bit of my process as well as the final product. Some of the pages are pop-up, which I think can be seen a bit easier in the video. Enjoy!
