The Blackpool School’s Sketchbook Project aims to get children recording and documenting;
1. Their life
2. Their surroundings
3. Things which have inspired and influenced them
4. Ideas for art projects
The sketchbook project is ideal for work in class to support projects, with after school clubs and to take home and work on as a family.
Each child has their own sketchbook to personalise. There is no list of content to include and no mark at the end of the project, it is an ongoing project for them to be responsible for.
Sketchbooks should be full of imagination, experimentation presented in a relaxed and individual style.
The school to provide each pupil taking part with a mini sketchbook (no bigger than A5) and the Grundy Art Gallery’s Education Officer will come into school and do a workshop on how to get started.
The aim is that every child gets their sketchbook celebrated in an exhibition organised by the Grundy Art Gallery, ideas for where and when to be discussed at a later date.
If you are interested in getting your class involved, we are looking to start this project in Oct 2010 with workshops in school. Please contact Kerry Hunt on 01253 478170 or kerry.hunt@blackpool.gov.uk to register your involvement and arrange dates and times for the workshops.
