Flamengo Park


On Friday we rented bikes and took a leisurely group bike ride all around Flamingo Park, which Burle Marx took part in designing. We biked all throughout the park and then stopped for a sketching lesson at a skate park. As we sketched, a group of Brazilian kids gathered around us to watch as we sketched what we had just learned – using shadows to create tone. We were both happy when the kids seemed to really enjoy our sketches. We both wish we could have communicated, which seems to be a pretty consistent theme here, but we felt like the sketching did the communicating for us.
