About Us

SLV Sketchers is produced by the Scribbles Institute. The purpose of this blog is based on three primary goals:

• To help improve each student's drawing skills
• To promote the importance of drawing in local schools
• To provide an online community for sharing ideas about drawing

This blog is produced by the Scribbles Institute and is part of the Drawing League. Drawing League features the work of students from local schools and community organizations drawing in programs organized by the Scribbles Institute. We highlight local, regional, and statewide drawing and visual art events that may be of interest to our students. We also feature the latest drawing news, videos, podcasts, and books that our community of sketchers finds useful and entertaining.

Feel free to post comments and join in the fun!
