I went to the Paris Olympics! | Sketchbook Travel Vlog
I went to the 2024 Paris Olympics with my mom! I just finished my Master of Fine Art degree in Glasgow, and I celebrated by leaving Scotland for a summer holiday in France. It was a fun filled week of sporting events (rowing and athletics) alongside some amazing food and a bit of drawing! I always take a sketchbook with me when traveling. It’s one way of recording memories and capturing an experience outside of photographs and videos. Hope you all enjoy and follow along for more adventures!

My mom came and visited me in Glasgow this last week and we spent a few days travelling through the highlands with her, my boyfriend, and my trusty sketchbook. We visited the Glenfinnan Viaduct, Glencoe, Three Sisters, Skye, Loch Ness, and Inverness! We drove through the highlands in a tiny campervan and made it safely back to Glasgow at the end of the week. I finished the last few pages of my ...

I am preparing for my final degree show for my Master of Fine Arts program at the Glasgow School of Art. Come with me as I view our venue, make a new textile piece, and do a bit of screen printing.

I wanted to share my art making process from idea to finish, even if that finish still needs some work ;) Being an art student oftentimes means juggling ten different projects/responsibilities at once. This week not only did I make a new sculpture with handmade milk cartons but I also helped welcome a few new friends from Germany and hosted an art exhibition. It's a busy bee fall :) Peachtober ...

Today I was feeling motivated to break out the acrylic gouache paints and create a landscape painting. As a full time art student, I try to break up my week with fun projects like this. There’s no pressure to make something perfect or complete an assignment, I just want to have a bit of fun.

I think this is one of my fav videos of yours. Hi Kitchen! 😻
Such a cutie video 🫶🏼

from the heart: congratulations!!! well deserved, dear Blake! <3<3<3
Aww thank you so much! Proud of so much!
Thank you, liked your explanation of signing and edition.
really great video, and thanks so much for making it efficient, clear, and organized. that makes a huge different - so excited!
If they did a real, useful degree they would’ve known that papier mache and canvas burns . 🤡
Beautiful!
Been a pleasure watching your videos as you progress through your course.
So many good concepts!! I can’t wait to see all the art you make after you graduate!!!
i <3 textile art! and your concepts are exceptional, love the crochet patterns on concrete and the metal of the tank, something delicate - social rules can be very important, too, especially the brittle ones that make us respect and love each other for who we are - on some of the most sturdy materials, because they need the most support. oh, you can see your work is sparking something already. how wonderful what you are capable of with the work you make with love and your fingers (shout out to your little sister!). don't stop arting, please.
beautiful views and wonderful sketches. Enjoyed it so much.
Thank you so much <3
Beautiful :)
Thank you! 😊
What a perfect landscape to finish your sketchbook! Wow! I love your sketches so much :)
I love when a sketchbook finishes with a landscape ⛰️ thanks for watching!
wow, Scotland is beautiful! your sketches are great, love how much you can do with just markers and pencils. and you two are the cutest couple, oh my god! <3<3<3 looking forward to your videos!
Aww thank you 💜 I have so much fun making them!
Wow, loved this Video and the music
Good tutorial. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
thanks!
Great place!!looking forward to seeing you guy's show! X
So excited to see you there!
Awesome description of what you’re doing and why; any advice for doing it on fabric? Types of ink to use?
Hi! You can use specific fabric inks that are made for textiles. One tip is to heat set your ink with an iron, heat press, or dryer before you wash
where did you live whilst studying, how much was your rent and did you work?
hey! I have my own flat with my bf and kitty : ) Luckily I've been able to work on my student visa, otherwise my savings from my old job would've ran out quite quickly.
Do you know what the size of the second year painting studio spaces are?
Nice video! I'm going to host a lino printing party. The guests will be getting a link to this video. 😀❤
omg have so much fun!
Lovely work🎉❤
The warp is beautiful and I like the colours.
Very nice!
You’ve done reduction printing without telling your audience that’s what you are doing. That’s really not a basic (beginner) linocut technique.
What’s reduction printing?
Hi! Reduction printing is when you use the same linoleum block for all your layers. Each layer you cut a little bit away from the block to print in a new color and leave the carved parts their previous color.
This is sooo cool, love it
Hello
I love this so much!! How are you finding Glasgow?? I’m trying to decide whether I should commit to Glasgow school of art or Falmouth uni for textile design- I’d love any advice lol
Hi! Glasgow is a great art city! My postgrad program is pretty independent, so I find myself making opportunities for myself rather than relying on the school. I’ll be heading back to the US after I finish though, Glasgow is not for me long-term 🤷♂️ Good luck!
@@blakeballardart Awh sweet!!! I think my biggest issue with Glasgow is the weather, I swear it is never sunny - how can people exist without sun ?!! Lol
I enjoy your art and working place so much! its a very nice boost for creative work for me, keep it up <3
Aww thank you so much 💜 just trying to spread the creativity ✨
also the links in your description aren’t clickable, i think if you put in front they might work? not sure
Thanks for the heads up! I’ll make those changes!
so exciting to watch! i’ve applied for ba interaction design and i’m so so hoping i get to study here in september ❤ your art looks fantastic i love your body of work!
Good luck with the application!
Yay! The RUclips algo got it right & threw you into my feed. Love your style! 🎨
Yay! Welcome to the wonderful world of Blake! We love cats, art, and having a good time 😎
Oh I miss the stow building so much 🥹
Ooh. Love the concept. Please share the final weaving.
What sketchpad do you use. I like the size
That sketchbook is a baron fig confidant notebook!
Thank you!
You are amazing!
Lovely! Would love to see the final result.
thanksss
i wanna slap your hand the way you hold that pencil ..... aaaarrrggh
Fabulosa!
