Sketch like your life depends on it...

@ Copenhagen's Cathedral. Focus: light.
The class schedule at DIS is not consistent. We had to constantly check Blackboard for our daily schedules. It wasn't based on a block schedule, but rather on a lecture schedule. So every lecture class had a different lecture on a different topic, and we had 3 sessions of sketching class during the entire session- all within one week. The only class that was consistent was studio. Otherwise, it was annoying having to check the schedule on a daily schedule.

@ Thorvaldsen's Museum
But this sketching class was something else. I thought we were going to learn how draw, or at least techniques in drawing. Rather, it was a very, very, short lecture on drawing methods for architects, and off we went to a museum to sketch. I felt bad for the students in Information Design because, well, they are clueless as to how to draw in an architectural manner. Then again, there are architecture students who can't draw to save their lives. Every one of the three drawing sessions had a different focus: color, light, and something else that I cannot remember. I tried my best to forcefully sketch something. The professors would ask for a few sketches, typically no less than 3 or 5. I would usually underachieve only because I am just so meticulous with drawing. It's good and bad at the same time.

The colors are exquisite... hence the focus: color.
