from Part II - Essays: Inspiring Fieldwork
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 February 2020
Sketching in the field serves many purposes and the type of sketch should reflect these. It is of value in most types of fieldwork. There has been a decline in the use of field sketching as a skill for the fieldworker. This may be because teaching the skill has become a casualty of ever-increasing pressure from other parts of the course or curriculum. Field sketching vastly improves observational skills, especially of detail, whatever scale or type of sketching is adopted (e.g. Moseley, 1981; Coe et al., 2010). With the rise of digital photography, it is all too easy to take many photos and use them in place of a field sketch.
