Berlin Sketchbook

This is the book I made for my Berlin Trip. The only thing that is missing is the photo album, as I have still yet to get them printed. I needed to make the book, just to store all the information I collected while I was there, postcards and what not. I just put in a few of the sketchbook pages that I liked, most of them that aren't there were just of various exhibitions I saw.

4. Pocket used to hold all the museum brochures

5. This pocket holds all the information booklets on exhibitions, and various other information.

6. Used to hold all the postcards I got of artwork that I like and saw in the various museums. (I went a bit post card crazy while I was there!)

First page of the sketchbook

The Berliner Dome and a statue near the dome that I liked

Sketches of various knifes on exhibit

A drawing of one of the statues on the Neptune Fountain

A drawing of a broach I saw in one of the museums. Its Medusa I believe.

The Radio Tower. This was pretty cool, I didn't go into it, but you could always see it. It was like our North Star

These next three images are of sketches I did when we went to the B Flat Jazz club. It was alot of fun doing these, I drew to the music. I was very lucky because my tutor managed to get a table in the front, so we were able to sit up with him, then he was kind enough to give me his seat so I had a better view to draw. It was s o kind of him!
