In my sketch I realized the huge magnitude of the yard. The ins and outs that I normally walk through sorta paying attention. I remembered where things are that i usually never notice. The crowds of tourists and hungry patrons and where no one goes. The buildings whose shapes are just rectangles in my mind or abstract shapes.

This assignment made me realize just how much of this campus I don't know. Some of my buildings just fade away into a cut off rectangle as i'm unsure of what's next. Or the missing spots, wrong angles, or totally off proportions. It made me realize the difference between day to day living and how a city can be so meticulously planned. One can live here all their life and not notice half the stuff until they take a step back and look at the city from a different perspective.

While drawing this I made sure to focus on the green space. As it is the places I recognize the most, from walking across them to avoid crowds, to enjoying time there during the warmer seasons. They always stand out to me as places to attract people and help out the environment, visual and actual.
