Making Idea Logs and Jumbled Journals: Sketchbooks Worth Keeping!

ALL LEVELS

Dean Nimmer

 

These sketchbooks become an important resource for your art, now and in the future. Idea Logs emphasize gathering all forms of spontaneous drawings, unstructured notations, random texts, open-ended lists and simple doodles, all pooled in one place to motivate your imagination and creativity. They act as a kind of insurance policy against being artistically blocked or stuck in an art rut, making the same things over and over again. Jumbled Journals are part artist books and part written diaries that keep images and notations inspired by your experiences, past, present and future. But unlike artist books or diaries, you needn’t follow any traditional forms or prescribed chronology. You just make it up as you go along. Like anything worth doing, you have to get started making these sketchbooks before it’s lost on an ancient to-do list. The main goal is to expand your creativity and develop a broader sense of what is possible in your art–and have fun along the way!
