University Level Urban Sketching Course

The University of Texas Arlington has just approved a 3-hour credit course called Urban Sketching to be taught in the School of Architecture. We think it’s the first university-level course based on USK principles.

The course will be open to both graduate and undergraduate students university-wide and it will be taught by USK Board member James Richards, FASLA. Jim is urban designer, sketchbook artist, writer and educator in Fort Worth, Texas and is co-founder of the urban design firm TOWNSCAPE, Inc.

Seattle Sketcher in the Macy’s Parade

Ok, so it wasn’t THE Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade in NYC, but it was Seattle’s annual Macy’s Holiday Parade where we spotted USK Founder & Correspondent Gabi Campanario (and daughter Olivia) marching with other Seattle Times employees. For the parade, those newsboy bags were packed with candy to hand out along the route instead of newspapers to deliver. Of course, Gabi even managed to get a sketch done! Full story here in the Seattle Times.
