Sketch of Stourhead from Temple of Apollo
Stourhead is a beautiful landscape We visited on Tuesday, March 13. The landscape was based off a painting and has a clear forground,, middleground, and background. My sketch is from the Temple of Apollo which overlooked the rest of Stourhead from the top of a hill. From the sketch, I began to understand the formality of the wilderness laid out in Stourhead. The sketch helps me see how designers began to think about different plants and nature and how to use them to create such a picturesque landscape. The sketch also highlights how the pond is a figural void against which the rest of Stourhead is organized.
