This sketch was much more difficult than I expected. However, I was satisfied with my final product. I was aware of some potential errors at the outset. For example, I knew that I would underestimate the distance from the Yard to Radcliffe Quad. Of…

For my map I started by drawing what to me is Cambridge’s defining feature, the Charles River. From there I added the bridges which I row under every day, and the intersection of JFK and Memorial (the arteries I use to walk to practice). I added Mt.…

One interesting thing I noted was that I completely turned the map’s orientation. That is, most maps illustrate the river to law school (down-up). For some reason, it was easier to envision the square and the Yard in that way. There was a clear poor…

Overall, my map is pretty inaccurate; however, my portrayal of the Harvard Yard and Tercentenary Theatre areas is decent. I think this is because, as a freshman, I spend most of my time around the Yard so that region has become the most meaningful to…

Attempting to reproduce a map of campus from memory, I realized that my knowledge was very limited to a small triangle bounded roughly by Dunster, the Yard, and the intersection of JFK and Mt. Auburn. My ability to map anything on the "other" side of…

In sketching my map of Harvard, I realized that the features of Cambridge that I can see clearly in my mind’s eye vary depending on the location. For instance, I am very familiar with the subtle curve along Garden Street because I walk up and down…

In this sketch, I attempt to visualize my own path around Harvard by drawing the places I frequent the most. In this sense, my representation of Harvard only takes into account the things that matter to me, leaving out the vast majority of the campus…

Drawing this was a really interesting assignment as I tried to fit onto an 8”x11” piece of paper everything in the square that was important to me. I started with the two places that are most central to my life—Weld Boathouse and Cabot House (the…

Sketching Harvard and the surrounding area from memory took a number of attemps. The most challenging things was definitely the scale. I initially started by first sketching the river houses and put some time into getting their details and relative…
