Daniel Abrams' experience in Pompeii

This sketch our faculty member, Daniel Abrams, completed while with the participants in Pompeii. He was amazed by the complexity of the structures and the breath-taking beauty of the surrounding mountains. The experience of being able to draw in Pompeii and see the immense amount of artwork including the Villa of Mysteries has had a profound affect on his artwork. Everywhere he went through-out the city he found different elements which he wanted to capture. This has led Daniel to create pieces which are inspired by pre-renaissance, single ground plane/multiple perspective, description of space instead of a modern single-perspective space. He is looking forward to taking future participants to Pompeii and discussing compelling elements of drawing.
