On Sunday we kicked off our Winter Field Trip Series with the Sketchbook Project Event, a two-hour collaborative art-making extravaganza, and it was great! We had about 60 girls show up to make pages for the sketchbooks, we were a little worried we’d run out of paper! The girls had really great ideas, and did some fantastic, cool artwork with all kinds of materials. We’re excited to take their work and bind it back into the sketchbooks, and to go see them at the Brooklyn Art Library in April, but here’s a few samples of the raw material, arranged by theme.
