This is an introduction to drawing architecture, as well as objects that have straight lines, in an urban sketching context. This class builds on the Intro to Urban Sketching class (but can also be taken on its own). Urban sketching is the practice of on-site observational, idiosyncratic, or impressionistic drawing and painting, usually in the form of sketchbook pages, using portable art media. In short, it's drawing what's around you, and using your direct experience to create a (usually) small artwork on-site, in the moment. Our territory will be the Wicker Park neighborhood, in and around instructor Laura Noble's art studio in the historic Flatiron Arts Building. We will gather at the studio at the start of class for an intro and demo about using linear perspective in drawing, and answer any questions you may have. Then we'll venture out nearby to enjoy and sketch indoors and outside, as you like. We may explore local coffee shops, bookstores, rooftops, parks, architectural views, nature trails, and other unique spaces and views. We will compile portable artworks that can be a collection in themselves or fodder for future studio paintings. Sign up for just one session, or get a deal when you sign up for more sessions (see schedule). Note: some extra spending money (maybe $15-$20)may be useful, in case you'd like to sit and sketch in a cafe or restaurant. It's good manners, and there are some lovely places whose food and beverage is worth trying! (must be 21+ to buy alcohol, of course). You are not required to sketch indoors, and there are many wonderful outdoor locations we'll visit, in addition to the established businesses, such as bookstores and cafes. And always make sure your supplies and gear is easily portable, and appropriate for outdoor weather.

&quot;Confused Apartment&quot; is a very famous street town in Chicago. It is very suitable for going with children. The scenery there is very beautiful. The tree-lined streets have the most beautiful. I like to travel. I have been to many places and seen all kinds of scenery. This is one of my favorite places.

It&#39;s great. There are many masterpieces by masters. It&#39;s worth visiting, especially Monet&#39;s works. It takes about 4 hours to visit. From ancient Greece, ancient Rome to the European period, there are many people. It is recommended to come early in the morning.

Before riding the elevator to the top, there&rsquo;s an exhibition introducing Chicago. It covers architecture, famous people from the city, food, and more. At the tower&rsquo;s summit, you can take in a panoramic view of the entire city. It&rsquo;s definitely a worthwhile experience.
