HS Sketchbook Challenge
When David Macaulay was last at Dalton he spoke to a few High School students about how to revive the use of the sketchbooks. Students came up with the idea that there could be a sketchbook competition, with prizes for different categories. So with that in mind, we challenge all the high school students to start drawing again and enter your work in the five categories below. Submitted sketches must be brought to Roxanne Feldman for scanning and posting on the Sketchbook blog.
All entries must be submitted by Friday May 14th. David Macaulay will judge the entries and prizes will be awarded. Everyone is encouraged to submit something!
High School Sketchbook Entry Categories:
- Best “Doodle”
- Funniest Cartoon
- Most Controversial Sketch (remember it will be posted on a public blog)
- Most Colorful Page
- Best Fantastical Drawing
- Best Realistic Rendering
Each winning students will received an autographed copy of one of Mr. Macaulay’s books.

David Macaulay: An Exercise in Frustration
first rough sketch
more detail to show buttresses and flying buttresses more accurately
some shadow to give it all volume
fixing the flying B’s in the upper left
a little color, almost there
more color, looking good. Oh no. The chapels are too fat and the buttresses closest to us are too far apart.
new sketch under the original with corrected chapels etc.
almost there and this time things are in proportion and in the right place. But wait, the walls have gotten a little muddy.
That’s better.
