All You Can See!
Our way to represent the space since the Renaissance is conditioned to a maximum 30-degree viewing angle, which is very limited compared to what we actually experience when we look sideways and up and down. In this workshop, I will show you how I started sketching curvilinear perspectives in a very intuitive way, exploring how to represent a scene as if everything I see was inside a sphere or a cylinder. You will learn how to create a 180-degree panorama including not only the architecture in front of us, but also the people and the street activity. We will also listen to the conversations around us to enhance our sketchbook panorama with annotations that capture the soundtrack of the moment.
