While waiting for my next unit to begin (still waiting on student finance) I have been looking at different ways to create a sketchbook and experiment more in the process. I found out the scraps from ATV that didn’t get used for collage etc, together with drawings, pamphlets and painted papers. I bound the larger pieces into a book and used the smaller pieces to collage, layer and edge. I didn’t think too much about it and just had fun to see what happened.
These are some of the pages
Using just what I had left over was a useful exercise and as I just tried to be spontaneous, new shapes and colour combinations from unrelated exercises created new inspiration. I particularly like the combination of black and white drawings with coloured shapes, and paper with cutouts overlaid onto collaged pages.
I am going to take this spontaneity and joy of experimentation forwards to MMT and create an exciting inspirational sketchbook that I can return to throughout my exercises.
