Interactive Sketching in Portland Map
In late July of 2010, the city of Portland, Oregon (USA), became a canvas for drawing enthusiasts from around the world as Pacific Northwest College of Art (PNCA) and Urban Sketchers (USK) hosted the 1st International Urban Sketching Symposium. The three-day event attracted participants and presenters from diverse corners of the world. In addition to the U.S., other countries represented were Australia, Belgium, Canada, Mauritania, Italy, Japan, Singapore, the Dominican Republic and Spain. The program consisted of lectures, panels, exhibits and field sketching sessions led by a diverse team of international presenters with backgrounds in art education, architecture, illustration and journalism. This blog documents the experience since the Symposium was announced in March. A selection of photographs from the event can be found in this flickr collection. Sketches produced by participants during the event can also be seeing on the Symposium flickr group.
Talk about complex subject matter! I love how the giraffe turned out--the contrast between the brown and yellow, as well as capturing that feeling of staring up at the massively tall, towering shape.
ReplyDeleteYou've really captured the movements in these sketches. I remember that someone at the symposium said, "Pay attention to hands and feet," and someone else said to notice the elbows. You've done tall hat here.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the selecte outing, I wondered what would be the result. Looks like y'all had your sketching muscles stretched! Pun was very much intended!!
ReplyDeleteImpressive...you have got a lot down in these sketches. I am really liking the animals overall.
