[Collection] Scrap Paper

Jan 21

Sketching. Sometimes we sit down with intention: pen-pencil-marker-stylus primed, sketchbook-pad-journal-tablet open, on desk, in lap, and otherwise at the ready. Other times we’re mindlessly doodling, our attention drifting in hour 2.5 of a 3 hour zoom class, our tools expanded to and limited by what’s within reach. Post-it, sharpie, crayon, index card, the backs of our hands.

These individual threads of thought can drift about loosely forever, or be woven into the fabric of our “next big idea”, but in any case, they’re probably not uploaded to our Miro boards come time for review.

Scrap Paper, the latest open-source collection, gives students a chance to pin-up the pieces of our projects we don’t bring to the final -- the messiest sketches, the most incoherent babblings of thought. Unedited, unaltered, unfinished, open-source asks: what does a page from your sketchbook look like?
