This guided tour of Washington Square Park is led by Marii, for her landmark assignment. Note the simplicity of the arch. How many of you would be caught up in all the details? Yet remember that this is a sketch, only meant to give a sense of the place.
We know where we are in relationship to the park entrance. The gate, the light and the fence, help to bring us in, while the grass and the trees are lightly indicated. There is no fight, for our attention, between the foreground and the background.
There is just enough information, along the path that we notice the railings.
Again, we know where we stand in relationship to the fountain. Marii emphasizes the light poles, to show perspective, and downplays the water, trees, etc.
Enjoying the new revamped fountain, which gives students, tourists, and kids easier access to the water.
Here we are across from Parsons. This in fact was the first sketch, when as a class, we went outside our building.
