sketch in Sejong University at the time of Spring festival

sepia conte, watercolor, A 4

Campus was full with tents under which tables and plastic stools were laid. In some tents students were selling snacks and accessaries. After classes the festival might be open in full-fledged.scale. I sketched the above one in an empty tent in cool condition though the outside was very hot. The far building with big flag is students' hall built newly. Being young is always envied by all old people. I prayed for their happy future.

Dongguk University has a history of over 100 years, and is one of the best universities that was founded on the Buddhist faith. The main campus is located in jung-gu Seoul, and directly connected with Namsan Mountain and Jangchungdan Park. So we can see much beautiful scenery surrounded by urban buildings and natural landscapes. Ahead of the Buddha's Birthday, lots of colorful Lotus lanterns were beautifully displayed all over the campus.

While sketching around charming campus,I was fascinated by the lively sceneries harmonized with natural park in the center of the metropolis.

도심과 남산공원을 이어주는 요지에 사찰분위기의 캠퍼스 주변은
유서 깊으면서도 ~~ 숨가쁘게 돌아가는 서울 도심의 오아시스같은 곳입니다.
특히 초파일 앞둔 연등행렬과 장충공원 주변의 신록은 오월을 더욱더 푸르게 합니다.
"안개낀 장충단..."을 회상하며 봄꽃이 만발한 숲길을 오르면 도시풍경이 일품입니다.
교통 편하고, 오르내리기 좋고, 생동감 넘치고, 소재가 가득한~~~좋은 스케치 장소입니다.

Daehangno(University Street), known as the street for young people, is the former location of Seoul National University. Moving of Seoul National University led the opening of the Art Gallery and Art Theater of the Literary Hall and development of cultural space in the same area.

In 2004, Seoul Metropolitan Government designated Daehangno its second“culture street,”after Insa-dong. More interestingly, Daehangno is home to several examples of colonial architecture, including the old Daehan Hospital(1907) and the old National Industry Institute(1908), and so on. Those are well preserved beautifully as the cultural asset.
I sketched some well-known buildings around Daehangno looking back my old times, and was impressed by the harmony between the old and new architectures.

젊은이들의 광장 대학로....
마로니에 공원과 히포크라테스 광장, 근대 건축, 바로크 스타일, 시계탑 병원~~~
서울의 지성과 낭만의 반세기 역사가 대학천을 따라 흐르던 그 곳에서 어렸을 때부터 있던
낯익은 건물들을 스케치하면서 그 시절로 돌아간 듯한 향수와 함께 가슴이 뛰는 것을
느꼈습니다.
왁자지껄~ 속의 도심 스케치는 생생한 시절을 원기있게 되살려주는 묘약인가 봅니다.

Today I went to Yonsei University in the afternoon. Campus was full of new and old buildings and young students. I could feel the beauty of late autumn in spite of cold weather.

YH Lee, KW Jung and I had a sketching tour at Kookmin University located at Jeongneung-dong, Seoul. It was so hot and humid. But the campus buildings with green leaves of big trees and the Bughansan Mountain was very beautiful. In the large playing field young boys and kids were playing balls.  After we finished some sketches and had lunch we moved to the Myoungwon Folk House.  The atmosphere with Korean traditional style buildings made us feel like visiting again later.
