EXPERIENCING ITALY
NIGEL MACIAS
BACK IN SPRING OF 2023, I STUDIED ABROAD IN ITALY DURING WHICH I WOULD TRAVEL TO VARIOUS TOWNS ACROSS THE COUNTRY ONCE A WEEK FOR CLASS TOURS IN VARIOUS CITIES. PART OF THE TOUR INVOLVED VISITING VARIOUS LANDMARKS AND PERFORMING HAND SKETCHES OF THE BUILDING, FROM ELEVATIONS, 2D AND PERSPECTIVES, OR EXPLODED AXONS. THIS PRACTICE HELPED ME DEVELOP MY FREEHAND SKILLS, TEST MY ABILITIES TO DISSECT A BUILDING, AND CAPTURE ITS ESSENCE ON PAPER. THIS PORTFOLIO CONTAINS MY BEST WORK FROM THAT TIME PERIOD. I HOPE YOU ENJOY WITNESSING MY WORK AS MUCH AS I CHERISH THE MEMORIES OF THAT TRANSFORMATIVE TIME.
