Day 3 in the City

A panoramic photo I took of the Great Court at the British Museum.

Yesterday morning began with meeting the rest of the group at the British Museum and sketching in the Great Court. I had a lot of difficulty starting my sketch, as I couldn’t get the perspective right, though I eventually corrected it and was able to move on.

Some other highlights from the British Museum were the Pediment Stones from the Parthenon, the Rosetta Stone, and Egyptian columns and panels with hieroglyphics. My favorite exhibit in the museum was a temporary exhibit displaying currencies from different communist and former Soviet Union countries. I found this to be particularly interest as I am fascinated by the Cold War era of history and this exhibit gave inisight into the mindset of Soviet Union countries during that time period.
