From January to June 2016, I lived and studied in Rome, taking trips to other cities and countries. I filled up seven sketchbooks with observations. Here are some excerpts, organized into four broad categories.
1. form/space
how can drawing create the illusion of three-dimensionality?
2. material
how does the history of use affect material properties?
3. light
how do light and color create a convincing mood?
4. style
how do systems of representation create images?
