SKETCH JOURNAL & EXHIBIT ART
Here are two styles of journal art. The full color images are from a new project where the I’m taking a different approach to the multitude of travel blogs out there by presenting it as an artist’s impressions of travel and dining. The tan background images were for an exhibit for the visitors center at the site of a significant French & Indian War era fort. The challenge here was to engage an entire family in the material rather than viewing a bunch of maps and a few rusty belt buckles. What we came up with was to create an artist's journal that depicted aspects of the lives of individuals who lived, worked and served at the fort during its various occupations. This put a story and a face to the more scholarly material that was also displayed. This series of "journals" were set up in front of their respective period displays and are made to be turned like pages of an actual journal. these examples are representative of the 36 "pages" that were created for the exhibit.
