The Sketchbook Project

 

The sketchbook project was a surrealist experiment. This handmade book traveled between 12 participants throughout the span of this spring semester. Each individual had the book for one week to add their own spin on the contents. The recipient each week connected/transitioned the artwork from the previous person. Additionally they wrote the new recipient a friendly note to be slid in between the pages where they would be starting. The end result is an art object representing the students in AVT 668, 2021 spring semester. It brings the most satisfying closure to what has been an unpredictable and challenging semester!
