Through the Sketchbook

What has the sketchbook been in the past and what can it be today? Together this website demonstrates how sketchbooks cross disciplines, skills, cultures, gender, and class etc., to gain a better understanding.

The sketchbooks appear here not necessarily for the 'name' of the artist, but for the different thinking and seeing through the sketchbook.

English independent film maker Derek Jarman, and gay rights activist, kept scrapbooks along side the ideas and production of his movies, such as Caravagio (1986), and Edward II (1991).

 

He made the books himself, or trransformed existing albums, to include parts of scripts, notes, dried plants, drawings, news clippings, poetry, photos, etc.
