In the video below you can see people visiting the touring library and a small sampling of the artwork in the books. Once the tour is over, it becomes a permanent collection of the Brooklyn Art Library. Once you have filled your book and sent it in by the deadline, they will take your book on tour for the summer. When you sign up, they send you an instruction pamphlet with rules, the current year’s themes, etc.Įach participant receives the same 5×7″ blank sketchbook, which you then complete before the deadline (postmark March 31, 2018). They have had people from all over the world participate, so if you are from somewhere outside the United States, you are welcome too! If you want your book digitized, there is an additional cost. Does that relieve or add to the pressure of drawing? I don’t know, but I intend to find out.īasically you go to the website to sign up (deadline is January 5th, 2o18). I was captivated by the idea of doing an entire book that you send off into the world that goes on tour, and never have possession of again. The video below explains a little bit about the project: I don’t recall exactly how or why, but for some reason a vague memory of stumbling across The Sketchbook Project Journal and/or The Sketchbook Project World Tour in a funky Vancouver shop late last summer may have been the catalyst for making a note of the website and looking it up later. I came across a website called The Sketchbook Project last year. What will it take to motivate me to do rather than to make goals I have no motivation to keep? (ahem! that was a joke in case you thought I was serious.)Įvery single year I do nothing like that. Every single year for the last…I don’t know…3 or 4 or 5 (or more?) years I have sworn it will be the year I improve my drawing skills, draw something every single day, and be more amazing than I already am.
