Art Lesson #35: Collage in Your Travel Sketchbook

Don't feel like drawing? Make a collage!

Your challenge: Make a travel collage based on your hometown

Why make collage in a travel sketchbook?

Lots of reasons!

• You’re not interested in drawing and painting, but you have lots of cool photos and bits of paper from your trip that you’d like to use

• You’ll do some drawing or painting, but not enough to fill a sketchbook and you still want a souvenir of that place

• You’re mostly a writer, but you want a few visual elements in your travel diary

• You’re more of a scrapbooker/paper lover and you’d like to work that into your travels

• You do loads of drawing and painting, but sometimes you mess up a page terribly and you’d love to cover it up in some way that looks intentional

All good reasons! Let’s get into it.
