ART-108: The Sketchbook & the Creative Process

Course Description

Students will explore various aspects of the sketchbook and how it can be integrated into the artist's practice. This course begins with the assumption that art is a universal human activity, not the exclusive realm of the specialist. The sketchbook is presented as a creative tool through which anyone can explore, reflect upon, and express their experiences. Emphasis will be placed on journal activities, the development of each student�s personal style and areas of interest, and the generation of ideas. This course is designed to (re)introduce artistic activity to the non-major and to deepen that process for the art major. The sketchbook will be presented both as a work in its own right and as a preparatory tool for future creative activity. The art major who takes this course will find the sketchbook is a valuable forum for collecting visual information, experimenting with a variety of drawing materials, exploring mixed media techniques and formulating and recording ideas. One class hour. (SUNY-A)
