We had our jury for the second project last thursday. It went well, the critics were all very informative and helpful. Our presentation went pretty smoothly, some of the comment we recieved were about trying to make the waters edge area more memorable, possibly through the use of a large stair running down the main access. All in all I was happy with the work we produced.
On friday dan stephanie and i went to go visit the Carravagio exhibit at the Quirinale. It was wonderful! He is definitely one of my favorite painters. In my opinion, the best painting was the one portraying three card players, one of which had to cards behind his back waiting to pull it out and scam the other players.
The following saturday I had the chance to go to Assisi with dan and some other friends from the arts and sciences program. It was by far the most beautiful city I have ever seen in Italy. We got to explore various tunnels, climb half way up a mountain to a franciscan monastery and wander around a castle and some other churches. The train ride home was a bit confusing because we had to transfer in some small town, but we got to sit in the first class car of the train so it was worth it. I very much hope to return and conquer the whole mountain, not just half.
Other than that I have been up to Croatia planning. So far we have booked our first hostel and figured out plans for the first day (roughly). On the docket we had a one hour long bike ride, stroll along the shore line, a bar to try some traditional croatian brandy and seeing an old mousoleum on the penninsula. Oh i forgot to mention the first night will be in Cavtat, then the next day we will travel to Croatia.
Anyway, here are dan and my final boards from project II..
