I'm giving some lessons at the Faculty of Architecture - Urban studies department, in Naples. It's a "first aid" drawing course for beginners and I am trying to make new Urban Sketchers out of my students!



These are my pages during the first open-air session, drawing an unfamous part of the city, the Quartieri Spagnoli. A bit "academical" drawings, just to show the students how to draw fast, to add notes to the sketches, what to observe and why (in orange: private use of public spaces), how to make interviews to people. After only one hour, they where exhausted. But it has been a good start.
There is a video of the square here and other images of ours sketchbooks on Flickr, where the students themselves will learn how to upload their images. Posts on my blog here.

Hola cuadernista! Molte grazie, vieni a Napoli a disegnare con noi?
I wish I could have done your course before fumbling my way through urban sketching!
