Sketch and the City
Sketch and the City is a program Mike
Stewart created to get people away from drawing and painting from
photographs and to get them out into the real world to start making art.
스케치 & 시티는 마이크 스튜어트가 진행하는 미술 프로그램으로, 사진을 따라 그리는 작업방식을 벗어나 눈으로 직접 보는 대상을 표현하기
위해 만들어졌습니다.
Originally begun in Myeongdong (downtown Seoul) as a plein air painting
event twice a month, S.A.T.C. is expanding to embrace a number of unique
opportunities for making art from life. Mike is planning to bring his dozen
easels to locations all over Seoul and eventually beyond...
서울 명동에서 야외스케치로 시작된 본 프로그램은 2주에 한 번 진행됩니다. 현재 스케치 & 시티는 흥미로운 실사를 바탕으로 그림을 그릴
수 있는 특별한 기회를 제공하며 발전하고 있습니다. 마이크는 12개 이상의 이젤을 가지고 다니며 서울(추후 서울 이외의 지역까지) 각지의
다양한 풍경을 미술로 표현하고자 합니다.

세부사항:
For a very low price (around 10,000 Korean won) people can join a 'Sketch
and
the City' event. Bring a sketchbook, a canvas, paints, pencils, whatever
media you prefer and you'll be given an easel, a backboard to support
sketchbooks and a water bucket. From there it's up to you. Draw or paint
whatever you like at the chosen location.
매우 낮은 금액(만 원 가량)으로 스케치 & 시티에 참여할 수 있습니다. 이젤, 스케치북을 받칠 수 있는 보드, 그리고 물통이 제공되며,
참여자는 스케치북, 캔버스, 물감, 연필 등 자신이 원하는 매체를 가지고 와야 합니다. 이렇게 준비가 끝난 후, 참여자는 원하는 장소에
자리를 잡고 자신의 마음에 드는 풍경을 원하는 방식으로 표현하면 됩니다.
This is an event for artist and amateurs to enjoy. No experience is required
but Mike will be there to give advice as people work.
이 프로그램은 아마추어 및 프로 작가를 위해 만들어졌으며, 미술 작업에 대한 지식 및 경험이 없어도 부담 없이 참여할 수 있습니다. 작업
중 어려운 점이 있으면 미술 강사인 마이크에게 조언을 얻을 수 있습니다.
Space is limited for some events so RSVP please if you plan to attend
공간이 한정되어 있으니 참여하고자 하시는 분은 예약하여 주시기 바랍니다.

Sketch the Classics: at various music schools and outdoor symphony performances.
Easels at the Palace: at various Korean historical landmarks to capture the architecture, landscape and people.
Sketch the Fight!!!: at various martial arts studios throughout Seoul to capture the fast action of taekwondo, Judo, Hapkido, Gumdo...
Sketch the Kimchi: Traditionally, twice a year Koreans (mostly housewives) get together in big groups to produce kimchi for their families. It's quite a spectacle to see as they need hundreds of heads of cabbage for a single family. This event will try to capture something truly Korean as we set up our easels in the heart of this amazing tradition!
Easels at the Temple: at various Buddhist Temples in Seoul to capture the architecture and ambiance.
Cherry Blossoms vs. Artists: Yeouido Park has an annual Cherry Blossom festival and our easels will be there to capture the crowds of thousands and the beauty of spring.
Easels on Namsan: Centrally located, Namsan Tower and its surroundings is the best best place to get a bird's eye view of Seoul.
Sketch them stretch: The long poses of a yoga class will provide an interesting chance to capture the limits of human flexibility.
sketch the office: Trapped in their cubicles from 9 to 5, office workers and the office architecture will give us a lot to work from.
The Han River, caught on canvas!: The Han River provides countless opportunities for breathtaking image making, but it is too rarely captured on more than "film." It's time to change that and make some old fashioned hand-made pictures!
LIONS AND TIGERS AND EASELS OH MY!!!: Setting up easels at the Seoul Grand Park's zoo. Life drawing at its most natural.
