The Inspirational Sketchbook: 100Art Quotes To Illustrate & Educate

This book allows the purchaser to make copies for their students or personal use.

Art mixes with literature as we create illustrations for famous quotes on art by some of the most names throughout history like Einstein, Picasso, O’Keeffe, and Queen Victoria to name but a few. Read, interpret, and learn; a deeply interdisciplinary approach and supplement to an art education program or for personal growth.

A short blurb about the author of each quote appears on the back of each page with space to write an interpretation on what the author meant. There is also space for readers and students to explore more about the author of each quote. This combination of art, history, literature, writing, interpretation, and illustration becomes a powerful educational tool attaining the highest levels of learning on Bloom’s Taxonomy; analyze, evaluate, and create.

The author, Eric Gibbons, was awarded New Jersey’s Best High School Teacher award by the AENJ in 2015. The materials contained here have been used in his classroom since 1990, and have been fully tested in a real environment with grades 4 through 12. Gibbons’ students outscore their non-art peers by a wide margin due to his intercurricular approach featured in this book and many of his other books through Firehouse Publications.

The Fashion Designer’s Sketchbook: Inspiration, Design Development and Presentation (Required Reading Range)

The Fashion Designer’s Sketchbook is a must-have resource for both fashion students and practicing designers who wish to learn new ways of generating design ideas in order to create successful fashion collections, and who wish to develop their own creative aesthetic. It demonstrates how the fashion design sketchbook serves as a crucial creative tool for professional development, as well as a valuable portfolio presentation companion for potential employers.

This book identifies three distinct types of creative journal, each representing a different phase in the design process: the inspiration diary, the process or working sketchbook, and the presentation sketchbook. It explores how one develops out of the other, each stage moving the process forward organically from discovery, to direction, to design development and delivery.

The Fashion Designer’s Sketchbook shows readers how to turn their sketchbooks into source books; how to generate design ideas from everyday experience; explores multiple ways of presenting and arranging elements within pages; details digital search and storage techniques as well as bulletin board journaling. Exercises are provided to improve readers’ illustration skills through in-store sketching and visual analysis, focusing awareness of design aesthetics, taste levels and design vision. The book also explores the need to address market realities, consumer profiles and trend analysis in building design collections based on target customer demographics and a range of markets.

Beautifully illustrated and filled with a wide variety of inspirational, full-colour design illustrations, The Fashion Designer’s Sketchbook also features interviews with designers and industry experts. With a strong emphasis on exploratory design, this exciting resource provides readers with stimulating exercises designed to enable readers’ sketchbook work and their creative vision to shine.
