The Sketchbook Project

The Sketchbook Project is an art project funded by the Brooklyn Art Library. Every year thousands of sketch books gets sent out to places all over the world. Every artist who decides to participate will receive the same notebook. Each artist has around 4 to 5 months to complete the sketchbook depending on when you signed up for the project. When the deadline arrives, every artist are to sent out there sketchbook back to the Brooklyn Art Library. These thousands of sketchbooks are then toured around the United States whether it's exhibiting in the museum or galleries. When the tour is finished the artist could either decide to sell, exhibit or take back there sketchbook.
The idea of Sketchbook Project is to bring everyone whose interested in art together. People who has signed up for this project in the past aren't necessarily professional artist; Some of them are housewives who enjoys drawing. To join this project you simply go on there website at arthousecoop and pay $25 to receive the notebook. It's availability and price not only makes it a fun doodling project for people it also helps shape culture.

"Anyone - from anywhere in the world - can be a part of the project."

This is a good example of an informative argument. I'd like you to choose something more exploratory, however. Take a look at some of your classmate's blogs for other ideas.
