Sketchbook #36 Considering the outcome

10/27/2015

 
Several weeks have passed since I've completed my colored pencil artichokes titled "Artichoke-ish."  Its creation was therapeutic from sketches to the final art. But lately I've been considering the outcome of my sketchbook art less in terms of quality and more in terms of process. The process of making "Artichoke-ish" was enjoyable, but I am encouraged to create sketches that make a difference, not just help pass the time.

There have been exciting new things involving sketches and the art making process that I've been working on simultaneously. These sketches actually change things, not just for me, but for others. They are sketches for and by senior citizens. This is my new direction In creating sketchbooks. Considering the outcome is what fuels this new topic: "Creating Community Through the Visual Arts." See my next post to find out more about this change in emphasis.
