Sketches at Seoul Senior Art Performing Festival









pencil, crayon pencils, pen, brush pen, oil pastels, watercolor, A 4




There was a big performance for the senior generation over sixties supported by Seoul Associan of Welfare Centers at the KBS Sports World Arena located at Deungchon-dong. 35 Welfare centers in Seoul participated for the performance. The hall was very big. All the supporters for their teams and the players were excited by the joyful mood and dancing sound. It was my first time to join as a supporter. All the time from 10 am to 4 pm I enjoyed all the teams' performance. Wow, who could say the players were senior members? I could feel just energy and exciting mood all around through the big hall. I tried to capture their beautiful performing costume and poses. The best earning was that I decided to begin to learn one of those dances and samulnori or beating drum. It was really good experience to me. Sketching was my first aim to join. But I came home being excited by great feelings of the festival by senior generation from all parts in Seoul. We were one sharing the same period, dancing together, and living together happily. 

지난 화요일에 등촌동에 있는 케이비에스 스포츠 월드에서 열린 '어르신 생활체육 경연대회'에 응원차 참가했습니다. 참가한 동기는 공연 스케치였는데 공연 내내 흥겨운 음악에 맞추어 아름다운 춤과 노래를 선사하는 시니어 멤버들의 공연에 흥을 함께하며 즐거운 하루를 보냈습니다. 응원상이 있다하여 저희 복지관 직원께서 걱정이 많으셔서 그리는 틈틈이 술을 흔들었구요. 덕분에 2등 응원상을 타서 기뻤습니다. 참여하시는 그분들에게서 어떠한 노인티도 느낄 수 없었으며 아름다웠습니다. 이번 공연장에 참가하신 90대 노모와 70대
따님이 함께 추신 선비춤은 또다른 감동이었구요. 내년에는 저도 라인댄스에 도전을 해볼까 싶습니다. 난타든, 사물놀이든 한가지도 해보아야겠다는 결심을 하게되었습니다. 그동안 몸에 너무 게을렀음에 대한 반성도 했습니다. 내년에도 참여하여 더 풍성한 스케치와 감동을 느끼고 싶습니다.

Seoul City Hall is one of the most favorite place to sketch in downtown Seoul, so I posted some sketches on usk blog several times. The old city hall building and newly built city hall show not only combination of the architectural style, but historical change of the modern Seoul.
Last Saturday, for the 48th World Wide SketchCrawl, Seoul usk members met at the Seoul Citizens' Hall that is located on the basement floor of Seoul City Hall. The Citizens' Hall serves as a courtyard where Seoulites share their creativity and individuality while participating in various programs such as discussion meetings, workshops, seminars, concerts, exhibitions, special events, and wedding ceremonies.
The day was wet weather with the rainy season, so at first I sketched city hall buildings and streetscape outdoors between rains in the morning. After lunch, enjoying various kinds of performances at Citizens' Hall, I drew some colorful and fantastic sceneries with excitement.

서울시청은 서울의 근대사와 오늘을 이어주며 내일을 그려보는 타임 캡슐입니다~~
소리없는 변화 속에 그릴 때마다 숨어있던 장면들이 되살아나오는 듯 새롭게 다가옵니다.
스케치의 소재가 주변 가까이에, 가는 곳마다, 갈 때마다 다르게 펼쳐 있는 것이 
서울 스케치의 매력입니다.

It was raining all day in rainy season. Thirteen sketchers joined us. We were lucky to sketch inside the city hall enjoying various kinds of events under the title of "Play Seoul" held by city hall. Newly built city hall and former old building gave lots of drawing subjects. For the Art Festival(Jul 24 - Aug. 6, 2015) event lots of paintings and sculptures were exhibited on lobby for citizens. I drew some and enjoyed music and dance held from three o'clock. City Hall helds such program 'Love city hall on Saturday' on last Saturday every month for citizens. Though it rained we enjoyed all the shows and cool space in city hall.

Thank you all the participants : Kim Ji-hong, Jeong Ji-young, Jo Hye -kyoung, Shim Jung-ae, Kim Ok-kyung, Ahn Jae-hyang, Anna Fee Brunner, Kiki, Lee Yong-hwan, Kim Mi-kyung, Yun Young-sook, Moon Hyung-in, Yoo Byung-hwa

어제 종일 비가 왔습니다. 그래도 시청사 안은 각종 회화 작품과 문화 체험을 하려는 어린이와 시민들로 붐볐어요. 오후 세시부터 열리는 음악 프로그램에서 다양한 밴드의 음악과 드로잉 쇼를 보며 스케치할 수 있어 더욱 즐거웠습니다.

참가하신 분들 : 김지홍님, 정지영님,  조혜경님, 심정애님, 김옥경님, 안재향님, 안나 브루너, 키키, 이용환, 김미경, 윤영숙, 문형인, 유병화

새로 오신 분들은 첫날 오셔서 여러가지로 어려우셨겠지만 앞으로도 자주 참여하시면 좋겠습니다.

감사합니다!
