ARCH 1901: The Sketchbook: Articulating Space > Cataloging Place

What do the director of Hellboy II and Leonardo Da Vinci have in common? Fantastic sketchbooks! Just like you did from the age of two to ten years old [and perhaps further], these creative powerhouses documented their thoughts and their places in sketchbooks, extensions of their appendages. Not just notes and not just sketches, they recorded a collage of words, marks, lines, and washes. For these two weeks, you will be doing the same. Upon completion of this course, you will be the Bob Ross of the Sketchbook. What does Bob Ross have to do with all of this? Bob Ross demystified oil painting, shepherding the medium into the mainstream. You will leave these two weeks with the capacity to articulate space and place through a two-dimensional device. Demystify mark and stroke, you will canonize the power and prowess of the sketch catalog.
