SKiP loves and supports local sketching groups of all kinds. Whether it is some sketchy life drawing<\/a>, or even more casually guided “Draw by Night<\/a>” events, Vancouver has an ample selection. This coming Saturday, the Vancouver Chapter of the Urban Sketchers Group is hosting one of its regular and FREE meetups called “Art in the City<\/a>“.\u00a0 Come check them out!<\/p>\n

Art in the City is an annual fine art market in the West End Community Centre. It runs for one weekend in May.<\/p>\n

This year the event is welcoming Vancouver Urban Sketchers to the auditorium schedule of activities. Members of the public can join us, and we can offer a few tips if we\u2019d like to get them going and encourage new participation. How might you explain what urban sketching is to a perfect stranger? Expect some friendly show-and-tell conversations.<\/p>\n

No set goals except to have some fun!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Urban Sketching is tied directly to the practice of our Keynote Dr. Andrew Causey this year.<\/p>\n

The average person reads and interprets thousands of images per day–not surprisingly doing most of it with little more than a glance. According to Dr. Andrew Causey, the cost of this massive amount of processing is that we end up missing the deep content and context of the surfaces \u00a0around us.<\/p>\n

At the 2nd Annual 2017 Sketching In Practice Conference, Causey will share insights from his recently published book, Drawn to See: Drawing as an Ethnographic Method<\/a>, on how line drawing can be used to build a more attentive, and deeper form of perception.<\/p>\n

Also check out our call for proposals<\/a>, open to May 15!<\/p>\n
