USk Workshop: 10 tools – How to combine weak elements into a strong sketch

Join Oliver at Fisherman’s Wharf, San Francisco, USA to hone your design-on-the-fly skills! 

Often we see things that appeal to us – a statue, a button, a watch, stuff on display – but we don’t sketch them because they seem like a weak motif. 

In this workshop you will learn 10 tools to combine disparate elements into an interesting spread that tells your story of the place. Don’t be stuck with one viewpoint, but mix and match what interests you! 

You will learn: 

– to edit reality by picking and choosing elements that speak to you. 

– strategies to connect elements into a pleasing arrangement. 

– awareness of how to add interest where you want to. 

Learning outcome: 

– 2 sketches combining objects that are not in physical proximity. 

– you will be able to name and use design tools you can apply to arrange disparate elements into a coherent sketch. 

Date available:

Skill level: The workshop works well for students at all levels.
