-Professor Stephen Farthing- Guest Lecture-
This particular opening lecture set the scene for Sketch Innovation as a subject. Professor Farthing (professor of drawing art UAL) broadened my mind and inspired me to think about my sketchbooks and how I use mine to aid me in my Textile Designs.
He planted a thought in my head that I should use a sketchbook as a tool to my everyday life, to carry a book round in my handbag with me everywhere I go. To use it as a almost journal and timeline of my ideas, thoughts, drawings and designs.
Professor Farthing introduced us to the thought that a drawing or a sketch doesn't have to be a pencil touching some paper to create a image it could be anything. A sundial, a photograph or a light show could be a drawing.
He planted the idea that children are the best drawers, in which they love the actual physical movement of the pencil on the page, this changes when we grow up when we care to much about how the image looks, if it looks similar to the subject of which we are drawing.
This particular lecture was a inspiring and exciting introduction to Sketch Innovation.
