Sketcher: Your Role


“Sketchers are visualizers who quickly sketch the images that are important in or about a story. Sometimes, they sketch a scene from the book; other times, they invent symbols or maps or diagrams to try to explain it. Sketchers are not always great artists – often, they use stick figures and labels – but they are intrigued by showing things in pictures and graphics rather then the words and sentences used by writers.”

If you have been chosen as “Sketcher” within your book group, then your job will be to draw a scene, symbol or image from that particular book, poem, or short story. Remember, this is your interpretation, nobody else’s. This is not a drawing competition, just try to draw what you see in your head.
