39th World Wide SketchCrawl in Seoul

It was warmer day than before. After greeting our members I started to draw at outside of Yongsan Station. So many people come and go and noise from big spekers for sale and smell came from smoking area everywhere in outside of facilities annoyed me. But I was calm and ready to draw. I didn't do much though, it was lovely fantastic day to draw. Thanks all our Seoul Urban Sketchers! And very welcome new commers, Sang Jin Lee and his girlfriend.

전보다 따뜻한 날. 멤버들과 인사를 나눈 후  역사 밖에서 그림을 그리기 시작했다. 오고가는  사람들, 스피커 소음, 담배냄새가 신경쓰였지만, 난 그림 그릴 준비되어 있었다. 많이 그리진 못했지만, 그림 그리기에 환상적인 봄날이었다.

모든 회원님들께 감사드려요. 그리고 새로 오신 상진님과 여자친구 엄청 환영해요!

It was fine weather to celebrate the Worldwide Sketchcrawl. We Seoul sketchers met at the I'Park Mall building included Yongsan Station in Seoul. Yongsan Station, located in I'Park Mall, is the largest railroad and subway station in Korea. I'PARK Mall,the biggest shopping complex in Korea, is the urban entertainment shopping mall composed of various shopping space and cultural, entertainment space.

The sceneries around outside the Station building were somewhat desolate owing to the large-scale redevelopement plan, but the atmosphere of indoor theme zone was so lively and bustling with a lot of shoppers and passengers. I sketched colorful scenes in and out around the huge building and enjoyed an exiting day.

100년이 넘은 서울 최초의 중심역사...

강점기와 근대사를 지나 거대 민자역사로 탈바꿈한 모습을 그리면서
驛舍를 스쳐간 歷史의 발자취와 기적소리가 아련히 다가오는 것을 느낀다.

Though the weather was fine the wind was terrible. And the area was so big that we couldn't capture all on one day. But every spot was lively and exciting with people. Nine sketchers participated in. New comers, Lee Sang Jin and Go Seong Ae were welcomed by all. We expected their long lasting affection in sketching hoping to meet again and again. Thank you all the participants despite of illness and busy schedules! See you soon!

Yongsan Station

circle sculpture iin the plaza of Yongsan Railroad station

용산역이 넓어서 4월 13일의 스케치크롤 행사에 만나는 장소를 역 광장에 있는 동그라미 조형물 앞으로 잡았습니다. 의자도 있어서 편리하겠습니다. 광장에서 스케치를 시작하는 것도 좋겠구요. 참석하실 분은 오전 10시 30분 전까지 도착하시기 바랍니다. 그날 뵙겠습니다!

Yongsan Railroad station with annexed building of I Park department  is so broad to find sketchers here and there. It will be convenient to meet in front of the 'circle' sculpture at the plaza where we begin sketching. Hope you to arrive before 10:30.

See you there!

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.

lovely sketch by Chun So-jeong at a small library

이번에 함께 전시한 천소정씨의 도서관 풍경 그림입니다. 

책, 등, 책보는 어린이등 도서실내의 모습에 미소가 지어집니다. 

The work drawn by Chun So-jeong who participated in this exhibition with her two other works makes me smile imagining the interior scenery in a small children's library. 

Thank you So-jeong!
