Tom Carter joined us for week 2- in the field. We saw some perplexing buildings. A few had evidence from the 1850s, but they were hard to piece together. Much of this comes from the fact the area has changed from owner-occupied sfd to multi-unit rentals...and those conversions make it challenging to find "intact" buildings. I spent the week tracking down owners and tenants. It rained; sigh. But the students were troopers. Everyone drew - and drew well. I wish all classes were this solid. This is a great group, and they're fun too.
It will make for A GREAT VAF 2012. Thanks, students, and especially Tom.
Thanks Anna for all the time and effort trying to find theses houses for us to draw. I must say, I am very proud and honored to be helping with this project. Tom had good pointers and techniques that I wish I had tried when it was my turn drawing. Please thank Tom again for the help.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to finish up my transfer of field drawings and see my final work on the drawing board.
