According to Sketchbattle JR. Co-Founder Frank Schwartz, “Sketching is a form of communication, so if you can sketch, you are technically bilingual”. Original Sketchbattle Founder Brook Banham and Schwartz launched the pilot Sketchbattle JR. event in the west side industrial neighborhood of Detroit to encourage 10 to 18 year old students to explore their talents with the support of Wells Fargo Advisors Great Lakes’s Office. As Banham added “As our children grow older, we tend to discourage their natural tendency to draw and regulate sketching to free time entertainment. Yet sketching can lead to a lucrative career in design.”
