Artists in the Open Sketchbook mentoring program recently explored a beyond-the-sketchbook project called Borderlines as part of our Everything's Related: Boundaries and Borders theme. These works began with an intuitive contour-line mapping of organic shapes (twelve or more) on large sheets of paper. The edges and/or borders of these shapes were then used to frame unique areas formed around a twelve question KB Studio Curios questionnaire.

Throughout the month of April, artists in the Open Sketchbook mentoring program explored microscopic and close-up perspectives while working with our Everything's Related: Micro and Macro theme. We viewed cropped iPhone photos and electron microscopic image to develop works on paper that took into account the artists and the viewers relationship to their subjects.
