Jo Blaker came into
our studio to deliver a talk on sketchbook. Her huge array of style and
approach to sketchbooks is very interesting. She brought a big variety of work
from her degree work to present day. I could really notice the development of
how she has changed. I feel her approach is almost a personal journey
documenting anything she finds interesting. I like her open approach to it,
some of her sketchbooks almost feel like looking childish at work with the
abstraction and free flowing forms. This contrasts with her linear accurate
sketches with I find focus on perspective. This mix of style allows her to
approach with a broad range of techniques to approach a project or brief with. I
think the key aspect I picked up from the talk is the principle of having fun
and playing with your work. Maybe that might not produce a pretty picture at
first but keeping an open mind to experimenting at the beginning of a project
creates a lot more routes of entry in how to approach a brief.
