Sketchbook Circle Participation:
As part of the course we were encouraged to take part in Sketchbook circles. At the time of my working through this unit I wasn't connected well enough with other students and could only find a prompt list version which was running by OCA students on Instagram. I took part for a couple of prompts; 'Stay' and 'Paper' and here are my drawings for those prompts.
I really love how my 'Paper Rose' came out, it was really enjoyable to draw and I love the overall look of it.
This way of working a sketchbook circle didn't really work very well for me, I didn't feel connected to the other students and it was right in the middle of lockdown so I wasn't feeling motivated to keep going with it.
Fortunately, over the Summer I connected with lots of OCA students in the Discord forums and have got to know some of them better and joined a proper Sketchbook Circle. We are all working in each other's sketchbooks on different themes for each book. We are still working through this and should finish in December.
So far I am finding it both fun and challenging. It's really interesting to be part of another students chosen theme and to put your own work in their book is both daunting but also fun. I am trying to be more experimental in my approach and use different mediums and styles with it.
I will update this page once the circle is complete in December 2020.
