Sketchbook Skool’s an interesting and interactive way for people to take art classes online, and the community they’ve built in a year is pretty impressive. Danny Gregory and Koosje Koene want to get the whole world drawing – they are on a mission and many people are already on board, finding that the simple act of drawing brings happiness and renewal.
Danny Gregory, a former adman and bestselling author, along with his partner, Koosje, a Dutch illustrator, are bringing art to all with the launch of Sketchbook Skool, a video-based online art school and global community dedicated to teaching and inspiring people to get back in touch with their creativity.
Sketchbook Skool is designed to turn all of us into artists. One of the very special features of the site is the supportive community that has organically materialized around it—over 8,000 people around the world – most of them women – who have found Sketchbook Skool simply by word of mouth.
Danny rediscovered drawing over a dozen years ago after his wife suffered a tragic accident (his illustrated memoir about that time, Everyday Matters, was a bestseller). At that moment, when his life was in complete upheaval, Danny discovered drawing. It helped him focus, get perspective, clear his mind and see how beautiful the world around him still is. As for Koosje – as a kid in Holland, she drew all the time…and never stopped. Her sense of humor and wild enthusiasm inspires artists of all levels to make drawing part of their lives.
Now Danny and Koosje want to bring this gift – the art, habit and meditative experience of illustrated journaling – to all. For parents, this might mean nurturing creativity in their children and family, or to do something for themselves, since they are giving so much of themselves raising a family, or reigniting a creative spark that can help re-energize one’s life or career.
