My first 2 weeks at art school sketchbooks tour vlog
#artschool #sketchbooktour #artjournal
It’s been 2 weeks since I started college and we have done so much.
Line weight, deconstruct and reconstruct. Photographing work. Drawing with inks, continuous lines, mark making, collage and more.
I have an A3 giant sketchbook and a junk journal I’ve used as an art journal.
This is a vlog of what I’ve done thus far and it’s been fantastic.
I hope you enjoy.

Mini collages using gel prints with a simplified approach

      Hi Jojo, the insurance acts in their own interests but at end of day they are paying. Definitely better my parents had it, I’m just trying to campaign for reform in how they work. Lack of transparency and ownership. I’m so glad you like the video, hopefully it’ll flow better when I’ve done a few. But I would’ve liked this. I watch a lot of museum and university lectures on art on UA-cam. One of my favourites is Amy sillman, who is an art teacher but also a famous abstract artist. She makes you think.

Thanks for the flip through; I am quite taken with your collage vases with foliage and had to pause the video to go make a few myself. I sense an new collage obsession with these. (They kind of remind me of Helen Wells who is my current art crush.) All the best with your upcoming studies.

      Hi Britta!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Yes, I will try be on more frequently. I did get into art college…I start in 5 days 😱🥳 I’m aiming for at least once a week, even if it’s just a round up of what we learned that week. I would’ve liked that when I was trying to teach myself. I hope you’re well dear Britta ❤️❤️❤️

I hope you´ll find, what you are looking for 😎 And of course I am looking forward to hear from you more frequently - how you feel, what you´re busy with and so on. / I am as well, as I can be with a 72year old back and knees 🙃

    Cool. Do you ever tear out "failed" pages?

      Hi Mel, rarely, I tend to just keep layering and adding. Even with the oil pastels, I’ll pop a layer of mod podge or clear gesso on top so I can add to it.
