During my study abroad experience, I got the opportunity to visit the Colosseum in Rome. This was so incredible because it's something that, as architecture students, we see constantly in text books. But, a text book could never do this justice. The Colosseum is so much larger than I ever imagined. I just had to stand there and take it all in, which for me is often best done through sketching. So, I pulled out my sketchbook and put some lines on paper to try to capture everything that I was seeing. It's sketches like this that bring back so many memories about my trip.
