¡Hola!
There is about 24 hours until we leave to Chile. I remember the orientation like it was yesterday and now that the day is tomorrow, I should probably start packing…
I am most eager about the warm weather and gathering my summer clothes and flip flops out from the back of my closet. It will be nice to take a break from Columbus’s sad cold weather. I can’t wait to get to see Elemental’s projects, I’ve admired their focus on sustainability which as architects we should try and minimize our impact on the environment! I believe Santiago is one those places that could benefit from sustainability due to it’s resource of sun and vegetation.
With all the sunny days and beautiful landscape that Chile offers, I am looking forward to using my new camera. I’m interested to try and capture the picturesque mountains to the amazing food to the artsy streets of Valparaiso. Since I’ve upgraded my phone, I will have amazing photos to brag to my friends and family! I think there are certain things you can’t capture with a photo but can with a sketch, which I am also excited for. I plan on exploring my drawing skills on this trip with the many pencils, pens, colored pencils I’ve purchased, which I think won’t be hard to do with the Chile’s scenario doing most of the artwork.
¡vamonos a Santiago!
I look forward to discussing Elemental’s projects with you. All your colorful media will be fun for experimenting in Chile and I look forward to seeing that work develop, please let me know whenever you want to talk about drawing-Aimee
