I brought a few students to the Ancient Civilisations Museum to do some research as part of a 3d workshop I conducted recently at a local junior college. I always find it refreshing to walk around in those large museum halls and observe the ancient artifacts and priceless treasures on display. There’s so much to see, analyze and learn. And sketch! My appreciation for musuems continue to grow with each visit, and I really should make it a point to visit them more often. Either alone or with like-minded friends. Much as I’d love to bring my family on these visits cum sketch-trips, I doubt I’ll get the opportunity to really focus on drawing. My boys are at such noisy disruptive ages at the moment. It’s not that I don’t want to bring them on museum visits. On the contrary, I think they would find it to be very enriching, educational excursions. It’s just that those visits won’t likely result in any decent sketches done.
Anyway, so at the ACM, I spotted a nice Chinese statue lit in an interesting way and couldn’t resist pulling out my sketchbook and pen.
