Since the Renaissance, architects have sketched and measured all facets of architecture in portable bound books. Architects have used the sketchbook to record historical artifact in both representational sketches evoking three dimensions and carefully measured drawings drawn to scale. The elaborate tombs at Hollywood Forever provide excellent modestly scaled subjects for students to practice documenting and capturing classical detail.
The course will be led by architect Winston Chappell, and will introduce the student to a method of sketchbook drawing that is focused on accurately measured drawings of architectural details, drawn-to-scale in a sketchbook. Festive attire is welcome, but optional!
