We are approaching the final week for the SiP call for proposals, and are inviting you to join us, but how do you know that SiP is for you? Bringing together practitioners from a broad range of disciplines, means the common ground we share will be the practice of sketching itself, so yes drawing any form is central. Education, Art and Design can come together in many ways, but what happens when the people do?
“Disorienting drawing”, was a term that caught my attention last week and as proposals come in, I feel it has some resonance for us. (enough to inspire the “disoriented” design below anyway) Many conferences aim to bring together well defined communities, but a challenge we are taking on is looking for cross sections between seemingly disparate groups. (venn diagram forthcoming).
Each of the sessions proposed so far promises to showcase a unique approach to drawing. How sketching can be used to achieve deeper understanding for oneself, rapid doodling to generate creative solutions to difficult problems, or collaborative art as process to engage students and push learning forward are just a few.
Starting today we will begin posting some of the speakers that have joined us so far, to show this range and some of the activities you will experience at Sketching in Practice. Lets start the discussion now, lets begin to disorient drawing. ~ jason
