I chose to sketch the statues at the Precolumbian museum because I found them particurly interesting and knew they would be a challenging sketch. In order to increase my understanding of the space that holds the statues, I decided to sketch the relationship of the statues to their surroundings. Therefore, I sketched the statues as they were and placed them facing the artifscts as if they were always looking at them. So, I drew the artifacts in order (front to back) and in the correct organization (left to right). That way, I drew what everyone looks at, and then drew what they (the statues) look at.
I found this to be difficult but very helpful in understanding spatial qualities and relationships of the amazing space!
