The USk Chicago Sketch Seminar is just around the corner! In just 5 days, sketchers, artists, doodlers, architects, designers, creative types, both beginners and experts will gather in and around Palette and Chisel Academy of Fine Arts in Lincoln Park. The Seminar weekend will comprise of 8 workshops and 4 sketching activities focused on teaching the art of urban sketching and related skill sets. As the Seminar Correspondent I will document the Sketch Seminar through sketches, photographs and blog posts. For those of you who are getting ready to attend the seminar and those who will be following the activities from around the world, here is a preview of what you can expect to see from me during the weekend:
Each workshop will take place within blocks of each other. To help capture and document the activities and instruction at each workshop, I will ride my bike to and from each workshop;
sketching, photographing and posting what I see in real time to our Twitter, Instagram and Seminar Blog accounts. USk Chicago’s accounts are: Twitter: @USk_Chicago, Instagram: @USkChicago and Pinterest: Urban Sketchers Chicago.
