Sketchbooks

Getting used to putting ideas down is INVALUABLE.
Filling a sketchbook a year is a great goal.
You will be stock-piling ideas that will/can/may fuel you for .y.e.a.r.s. to come.

TWO NOTIONS THAT CONTRADICT ONE ANOTHER-

1) As you age, your creativity will decrease... Your ideas won't gestate as fast and free- a child's mind knows no limits- an elderly person has spent a lifetime learning what IS and what IS NOT possible... The ideas that you 'get down' now are a great pool to draw from later on in life.
2) MAYA ANGELOU said that "creativity was a muscle"- and that the more you use it, the STRONGER it gets... Sketchbooks are a great way to make that 'exercise' a regular part of your life... to keep those creative energies 'active' and 'growing'.
