Get your gear ready for SketchCamp Des Moines

Hey there, artists/designers/programmers/all you Egotists: it's time to sign up for SketchCamp Des Moines.

Amanda Morrow's monthly Design + Tech meetup held a mini SketchCamp earlier this year, and now the crew is putting on a full-grown event on October 20 at StartupCity.

What is SketchCamp?

Sketching is all about thinking visually, not about creating masterpieces in your notebook.

Too often considered a privilege of the artistic, sketching can be a powerful tool for anyone and everyone. Designers, programmers, entrepreneurs, marketers, advertisers, and artists can all benefit from scribbling out their ideas. If you can write your name with a pen, pencil, or marker, you can sketch.

SketchCamp is about empowering yourself and your colleagues to start sketching more as way of brainstorming and communicating with one another. No matter what your background or what you’re working on, sketching may be that missing tool you’ve needed to dig yourself out of that creative rut.

Sounds like lots of workshops centering on improving the drawing skills and confidence of all. Who will be there?
