Bom dia!

Today was definitely more relaxed than the past have been. We all met for class in the same art building and half of us presented our Brazilian artist we chose to learn about. They ranged from painters to sculptors to graffiti artists (interesting enough, street art is legalized in Rio de Janeiro) and we were able to see the different techniques and impressions varying between all of them. We then talked about the different elements and principles of sketching, including texture, color, form, focal point, etc., and had to draw our hands four different times; once with just looking at our hand and not at the paper at all!



After class, we all enjoyed the city in our own ways. Some of us went to the market and beach in Copacabana and some others went to Ipamena beach and to dinner.  It was nice to enjoy a relaxing day at the beach/city and purchase some souvenirs from the local vendors. More to come tomorrow after our trip to the art museum! 


Ciao! Olivia and Kara
