Auxiliary Sketchbook

I am going to post this because Tiff just gets too shy sometimes. Tiff is a busy woman.  She's always got something on her plate.  This summer she organized a Sketchbook Meetup themed around some of the buildings of noted Philadelphia architect Julian Francis Abele.  Every month the group would focus on a different building; The Union League, the Free Library, and lastly the Art Museum.  Sunday, the group was at the Art Museum where a handful of people got to hear a mini lecture by Mike Spain about some of the history of the development of the museum and some of the players behind how it came to be.  Pretty cool stuff, and a beautiful day to be sketching! Check out the sketches! Click them for a bigger image.

Tiff here...

This weekend I kicked off my FIRST session for my latest creation - The Auxiliary Sketchbook!

(Thanks for coming out Natalya!!)

The Auxiliary Sketchbook is a group for anyone that has an interest in architecture, is in need of a creative outlet and is able to play well with others... The group will meet once a month for a total of 4 months leading up to an Art Exhibition in September.
(The Art Expo will be held in Old City Philadelphia)

During the sketch sessions, we will be given a short tour and brief historic overview of the buildings or spaces. While sketching is encouraged, photographers are MORE than welcome! This year's sketchbook theme focuses on the forgotten architecture of local Philadelphia Architect, Julian Francis Abele.

Here is a quick schedule: 

May 27, 2012 – The Free Library of Philadelphia

June 24, 2012 – The Union League

July 29, 2012 – Widener Building

August 26, 2012 – The Philadelphia Art Museum

So that's it in a nutshell...You in?
