Sketch Therapy Course Outline
Session
1: Determining your
sketch needs
What can better-sketching do for you? Add skills, politics, book, or film preparations? Develop your artist-purposes.
Session
2: Starting Your First Work
Based upon your artist purposes – what
should the first work be? And how to
start making the concept…Deciding symbols, language, and keeping the process as
easy as possible.
Session
3: Seeing Different Versions
Based upon making
several sketch-versions of the same thing -learning from your drafts, learning
to be patient, and having the first-big “showing of your work”. Showing -off the first attempts – seeing how
the potential of the medium is beneficial to keeping-up your sketching
skills.
Session
4: Begin Custom Education…. From here, you will be treated as a customized
client - as your ideas are different from other people. See You Then!!!
BEGIN
HERE: Man of a Thousand Sketches says:
Picture What
Your Sketchbook Needs….
Anything
from self-help, meditations, your story-ideas, or film-preparations……Where are
you headed with your artist purpose?
Session
2:
Once you
know what to sketch, which takes some forethought, (this comes from your artist
purpose) - making several-versions of the same thing will be required. This allows you to try several sketches. It is best if you do something meaningful –
right off the bat. Many beginning
artists do not try their most meaningful messages, but a few extra-sketches-to-get-ready
are what I advise.
Session
3:
This is the
big moment. - To decide from your
samples and experiments which to show-off.
The main goal in session 3 is to enjoy how the sketch medium is so
easy. Session 3 makes or breaks a further
use of sketching. Hopefully, if Session
3 works for you, you will continue to custom teaching. This is a great time to expand any goals –
because you have caught the bug of sketching as a legitimate tool in your
kit. Like a pencil, the tool can make
anything stemming from the mind. I have
decided that custom teaching at this point is the best use of the Man of a
Thousand Sketches resource. So, each
client who goes forward will be guided to their best work as fast as
possible. It is normal to begin dreaming
of all that great art you can do.
Session 4:
Custom Education in Sketching…
What does it
mean to customize your sketching?
How can fast
progress be fostered?
You can stop
at any time and email at any rate…your choice!
I am
available to help and give lessons based upon your individual goals. The fastest way to use sketching is to be
taught about the message. To start with
the highest good it can do. Sketching is
very flexible in what it can do. -
Everything from stick figures, story-ideas, to complete comics, to
film-preparation. Below is an example of
where these ideas may come from. I hope
you enjoyed so far what you have learned.
The next step is a big-one – to keep up your interest and try the course
at any rate you choose to email. Also, I
encourage that anybody forward this course advertisement to your family and
friends. I am ready to teach you.
