This course's objective is to provide students with a new tool to incorporate into their creative process. We will go through the stages prior to the materialization of the piece.
- Inspiration: What motivates me to create? How do I nurture my creativity today?
- Idea: How do I materialize my ideas? How can I relate them to my inspiration and theme?
- Prototyping: Do I create samples before the final product? When I finish my piece, is it as I imagined it?
Utilizing a sketchbook provides a structured approach to developing each artistic creation. It begins with your theme and you’ll work on research, sketching, sampling, prototyping and the final design. This journey offers a systematic exploration of the artistic process, from initial concepts to the step-by-step
realization of the final piece.
Sketchbooks enable you to revisit previous pieces, re-design Sketches and improve upon them, as well as reduce the margin of error when manufacturing the piece.
