I feel like I am facing multiple blank pages at the moment \u2013 GD1 is a new direction (my last two courses being photography based), I have had to set up a new blog and I have a new sketchbook \u2013 I needed to find a good place to start.<\/p>\n<p>I am a little apprehensive because I also have to learn Illustrator and In-Design quickly. I am pretty familiar with Photoshop and have used Inkscape, PageMaker and Publisher in the past so I am hoping that will at least help me get going.<\/p>\n<p>I like that the course starts with some of the basic building blocks and talks about paper, so I set myself a small exercise of exploring the different types of paper I had in the house. My new sketchbook is now adorned with an amazing variety from natural and handmade papers to photo and coloured tissue paper. It feels good to have taken a first small step and I actually quite like the collages too!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Piece of paper I want to be an Origami sheet They can make a boat of me Then make a rose of me For the friend to cherish me. &nbsp; I want to be an art sheet The artist can paint on me Sketch their mind on me Craft \u2026 <a class=\"continue-reading-link\" href=\"https:\/\/graphics.learningpictures.co.uk\/index.php\/2016\/07\/11\/getting-started-paper\/\"> Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr; <\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[16,9],"tags":[5,6,7,4,8,3],"class_list":["post-59","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-exercises","category-learning-log","tag-collage","tag-collages","tag-design","tag-graphic-design","tag-learning","tag-paper"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p89kH4-X","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/graphics.learningpictures.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/graphics.learningpictures.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/graphics.learningpictures.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graphics.learningpictures.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graphics.learningpictures.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/graphics.learningpictures.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":98,"href":"https:\/\/graphics.learningpictures.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59\/revisions\/98"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/graphics.learningpictures.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graphics.learningpictures.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graphics.learningpictures.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
