Amsterdam - Urban Sketchers Symposium 2019

(Von Marina Grechanik, in Amsterdam, Niederlande) Der Versuch, eine so große Erfahrung wie ein Urban Sketchers Symposium zu machen, ist keine leichte Aufgabe. Es war mein sechstes, und von Anfang an - also seit 10 Jahren - Teil dieser Organisation zu sein, verleiht dem Ganzen ein episches Gefühl. Es fühlt sich seltsam an, zu denken, dass 10 [...]
Amsterdam: Ein knisterndes Symposium

[By Tina Koyama in Amsterdam] As soon as I arrived, I could see immediately why Amsterdam had been an easy win as a symposium host. Its extraordinary architecture, well-designed urban spaces, geographic compactness and humanely flat terrain all made it an extremely appealing city for sketchers.

"Hallo, Sketcher!" Gedanken zum USk-Symposium 2019

[By Mark Alan Anderson, 2019 symposium correspondent, in Amsterdam] (An edited version of this story will appear in the September 2019 issue of Drawing Attention.) “For me the USk Symposium looks like finally meeting the cousins that you knew were loosely part of your family but never got the chance to meet. And now you […]

Amsterdam... Das Ende!

[By Gwen Glotin, 2019 symposium correspondent, in Amsterdam] This morning, the last day began as usual at the Zuiderkerk, where everyone looked for their workshop groups. I started with Charline Moreau’s workshop, which was dedicated to composition and titled “Compose A Sketch As A Theatre Stage – Give Depth To Your Front Views!”. It took […]
Der letzte Sketch Walk. Die Mission ist erfüllt!

[By Orling Dominguez, 2019 symposium correspondent, in Amsterdam] Sadly, the last day of the symposium has arrived. The last sketch walk was set up at the NEMO Museum, which is a great place to host more than 600 people sketching together. I sat at the very end of the platform facing the museum and had […]
Was ist in Ihrer Tasche?

[By Mark Alan Anderson, 2019 symposium correspondent, in Amsterdam] Over the past couple of days of this symposium, I have noticed a shift in how I’ve personally engineered my kit. I began by carrying everything everywhere in a shoulder bag. It is roomy and made of heavy canvas and protected everything from a deluge last […]
Suchen Sie immer nach einem Grund für die Erstellung der Skizze

[By Mark Alan Anderson, 2019 symposium correspondent, in Amsterdam] It is our final morning and everyone seems to be moving much more deliberately, much more slowly than we were two days ago. Traipsing single file out of the church courtyard, I follow a workshop group that will be led by Australia based architect Richard Briggs. […]
Freitag! Das Lernen geht weiter...

[By Orling Dominguez, 2019 symposium correspondent, in Amsterdam] Friday already! I can’t believe how much I have learned during these past two days. As a correspondent I get to move around workshops, lectures, demos, sketch walks and any corner of the event. If you want variety and options, the symposium has something for each and […]
