movie theaters in downtown, Seoul.

Piccadilly Theater - since 1960

Myung Bo Arthall - since 1957

Hollywood Cinema - since 1969
.

A few days ago, I went downtown and strolled along the Chungmuro and Jongno 3-ga street. There located several famous but old theaters. I sketched the buildings remembering the modern history of Seoul.

The top one was reconstructed at the present site. The middle one was remodelled into a multiple art performance complex building. The bottom is well preserved with original structure and is now being used for old people from a year ago.

The 26th Sketchcrawl

Hello,

The location for the 26th Sketchcrawl in Seoul was fixed Jongno Area.
We will start at Gwanghwamun Square. We will visit Jogyesa Temple, Insadong and Tapgol Park.

Meeting time & place ;
10:30 AM in front of King Sejong's Statue at Gwanghwamun Square


안녕하세요.

지난 주에 두 번째 코스인 남산공원을 미리 가 보았었는데요..
그림을 그리며 걷기에는 코스가 너무 길기도 하고 한옥마을에 도착하기 전까지는 원거리의 풍경이 대부분이어서 조금 지루한 코스가 되지않을까 하는 걱정이 들었습니다.
그래서 다른 스케쳐분들과 의논 끝에 종로 쪽으로 다음 스케치크롤 장소를 정하기로 했습니다.
광화문광장에서 시작하여 조계사, 인사동을 지나 종로3가 탑골공원까지의 코스로 하려합니다.

* 만나는 장소: 광화문 광장 세종대왕 동상 앞
* 만나는 시간: 2월 27일 10시 30분

많은 분들이 참여해서 더욱 풍성하고 즐거운 스케치크롤 행사가 되기를 바라며..
