This particular sketch evokes a lot of emotion for me. For four months, I lived in the city of Genoa, Italy to be able to study the architecture in Italy and all throughout Europe. I absolutely fell in love with the city and the villa that we lived in. I lived there with 20 other Clemson architecture students and we quickly became family. This sketch is the view of the city from the villa balcony. The portion to the left of the sketch is the villa which is owned by Clemson. The sketch begins to depict the landscape of the city and the way that it is built upon a hill. The villa sat about halfway up the hill with over 200 steps down to the city center. This sketch is done in pen because it is one of the tools that I feel the most comfortable with and the tool that I focused on most during my study abroad experience. One regret that I have is that this sketch does not capture the beautiful varying colors of the historic city.
