20 minutes in to our first day of urban design and Im already straying, at least Im not asleep like in philosophy. At least this has provided a great opportunity to check out the links Yergens sent out. Stendahl's sketches are very cute. You can tell that she completes them fairly quickly, at least my dog doesn't pose for very long and Im assuming she isn't breaking the cardinal rule of sketching from photos. I find this fairly inspirational, Im get very antsy sitting for extended periods of time and sketching the same thing. I have much more appreciation for sketches that may be lacking some details but claim the feeling of the subject. The urban sketchers contain a lot of the same styles. The subway sketches really caught my eye. So many of them, give you an idea of how the artist felt about the subjects. The men standing awkwardly with the caption about bank robbery was amusing. The artist also used values to convey a certain feeling. Some of the people had a faded color scheme that made them seem softer than the folks with harder tones. Everyday Matters reminds me of when I was a kid. Sketching the things that attract your eyes and having handwriting that just isnt very good. Well, notes are coming and I should try to be a good student (goals remember)
Im out, to sit in this room for another 120 and some odd minutes.
