Sketch Club @ Georgia Tech

With a little inspiration from Spencer Nuggent and a personal desire to improve our own sketching, Win Collier and I have started a "sketch club" for industrial design students at Georgia Tech. The basis of the club is having an outlet to go to everyday with directed sketching that is not school project related. We've gotten off to a slow start, but hopefully it will pick up soon. Some plans for the club are to post activities like sketching through the alphabet, prompting a certain material or medium, purposeful sketching to show form, function, or emotion, and creating an open forum for comments and critique. The beauty of something like sketch club is that it is directed, but still leaves plenty of freedom for exploration and mistakes. At Georgia Tech, I've noticed many students lack the desire to sketch outside of class due to little desire, boredom, or no motivation/encouragement. We hope sketch club can serve as that extra oomph to get people sketching. Visit the new page here: Sketch Club
