The past weekend we had our second field trip of the program. We started Friday morning from Termini to Spoleto, later that day to Perugia, spend the night and the next day there and went Saturday night till Monday in Assisi.
It was an interesting weekend, one thing that I noticed was the change of pace . Termini was (as always) super busy, Spoleto was the complete different, life there was just moving with a way slower pace, it almost seamed kind of “sleepy” but not in a negative way but in a comfortable way. Late afternoon we moved on to Perugia were we spend the night. Perugia was again another pace; it was not as loud and busy as Rome but vivid in an other way. The people in the city were younger; you could tell that Perugia is a college town. At night we were hanging out around the piazza 4 Novembre, it was a really nice evening although all of us were a little tiered after that long day.
Saturday we had a short introduction tour with matt and after that we toured around the city on our own and got some worthwhile sketches in; it was a pleasure to sketch in such a great environment. In the late afternoon we moved on to Assisi, I was kind of sad that we already leaved Perugia, there was so much more to explore, experience and to draw.Assisi was just as beautiful as Perugia and Spoleto, but as I already said earlier again with another pace. Assisi was touristy to some degree, we saw many pilgrims, so it was touristy but in a more comfortable way. Sketching and studying the different cities helped me to experience them in a much more meaningful way. After all 3 places that we have been to I felt like I haven’t had enough time. Here is one of the sketches I did in Assisi, probably one of the best ones that I did on this field trip.
