Tell YOUR story through sketching! Reportage is a visual account of a cultural phenomenon, event, current history, etc., based in drawings completed from direct observation while on location. The drawings have to tell a story by capturing an event and showing context, characters, and setting. Sketches are accompanied by short pieces of narrative writing presented directly on the drawings or added separately. The narrative is informed by firsthand account, research, and interviews. A successful visual reportage gives viewers a feeling for the setting and the people. Apply here! https://lnkd.in/dkH2MjfQ

I was so pleased to receive a reportage grant from Urban Sketchers in order to document the early months of the Refugees Welcome North Somerset hub in Weston Super Mare. Illustration is such a sensitive way to record the lives of people, whilst still allowing them anonymity. Please head to the Drawing Attention publication to read more. And please follow me on instagram if you'd like to see what else I've been illustrating this Refugee Week. @miss_magpie_spy Thank you to Donna King for allowing me in to the space, for trusting me and for everything that you and the team do. https://lnkd.in/du9vx2QS

Visual storytelling is at the core of the Urban Sketchers movement. Urban Sketchers reportage grant program promotes stories from around the world that tell a story by capturing event with rich context, compelling characters, and vibrant settings in sketches. They highlight an aspect of local culture, moment in time, industry/ trade, societal change in drawings and writing. The program is designed to highlight the best examples of drawing reportage in our community and inspire a new generation of artist reporters. As USk reportage grant winner, I had the incredible opportunity to work on Stepwells Project in western Maharashtra, my trail was to trace these historical marvels and capture the life that surrounds them. It was an unforgettable experience, and I’m thrilled to share the final published work with you all! #UrbanSketchers #USkReportage #VisualStorytelling #StepwellProject #ArtCommunity

Meet the Symposium International Correspondent Jeroen Janssen Meet the 2024 Symposium International Correspondent Jeroen Janssen from Belgium, who will document the daily happenings at this year’s event in Buenos Aires. Jeroen is a graphic journalist and his core interest is sketching ordinary life of people and everyday stories – for many years has contributed to the organization as a USk blog correspondent. The work of a sketching correspondent is very demanding – as the daily activities of the Symposium draw to a close, sketching correspondents have to rush to their computers to scan their drawings and write a summary of the day whilst others relax and reflect on their experiences.
