My sketch representation of the Harvard campus differs dramatically as distance from the campus center increases. I began by drawing the Yard and Tercentary Theater meticulously, given that it’s the part of Harvard I am most familiar with, and the…

Upon looking at a map of the actual area on Google Maps, I found that my memory didn’t fail me too much; the relative placement of most of the buildings was fairly accurate so the overall product didn’t look entirely different. However, and this is…

In my sketch, I attempted a bird’s-eye view of the Harvard campus from the Harvard Law School to the athletic facilities across the river. Being a second-semester freshman, I was fairly confident with my judgment of the Yard, the Science Center…

The end result of my map sketch, while being nowhere close to completely accurate, was actually considerably more on target than I had anticipated. While working on this project, I realized how many spaces on campus I pass through regularly without…

I drew the part of Harvard Yard that I frequented most as a Freshman. Immediately, I realized that for having walked through this area so many times, I struggled to remember the names of certain buildings, but just remembered their general shape. I…
