The Art of Sketch Theatre Volume 1

By Sketch Theatre

Book Overview

The Art of Sketch Theatre Volume 1 is an inspiring collection of sketches, finished work and insightful profiles by over 50 professional artists who have participated in the ongoing SketchTheatre.com project. In the words of Sketch Theatre founder Alex Alvarez, "Sketch Theatre exists for one express purpose - to expose young people to the myriad career opportunities available to creative individuals. There are scores of you out there who love to draw, make things and express yourself. Whether you are interested in drawing comic books, entertainment design (sets, props, creatures, etc), fashion, animation, creating films or making music, there are today more opportunities for you then there have ever been in history. Most adults think that being an 'artist' means being a 'fine artist' who shows work in galleries and has a difficult time making a living. This is an extremely narrow minded view of a word that today has a much broader scope. Sketch Theatre serves to motivate and inspire artists from all walks of life. Here, aspiring artists are exposed to contemporary artists and the various career paths taken by these like-minded individuals who all began their careers by simply putting ideas and expressions down with a pencil & paper. The brilliant myriad of artists featured on Sketch Theatre strip down and expose raw sketches on camera, never failing to captivate and inspire. These people work in a variety of fields, are successful, support themselves, and are proud to call themselves artists."
