I drew some  traditional buildings that remainded so far between modern buildings of Sungkyunkwan University in Seoul.

Sungkyunkwan is the first and higher  educational institution of the Joseon dynasty in Korean history .

It has two names 'Sungkyunkwan' and 'Munmyo'.

It was called by Sungkyunkwan as the academy of Joseon dynasty and was called by Munmyo in the same time  as the Confucion shrine for Confucius.

The Joseon Dynasty was maintained for 518 years from 1392~1910.

When it comes to urban sketches I almost  use watercolors but I'm always struggling with them to deal with.

Back in the days I usually used to draw with oil paints which is my best materials ever.

I really hope I'm getting used to handle watercolors.

성균관과 문묘는 같은 말

조선시대 최고의 교육기관으로써의 기능을 중요시 할 때는 성균관이라고 부르며

유학 역사에 공헌한 공자를 비롯한 선현들의  제사를 지내는 역할도 못지않게 중요했는 데

그때는 문묘라고 한다.
