Weekday Sketchers Capture the Sculptures in Lower Manhattan
 |
| Joie de Vivre in Zucotti Park |
We rush, rush, rush around this incredible city we live in and hardly take notice of the sculptures on our streets, plazas and parks. This week we will slow down and really take notice of the abundance of sculptures in the financial district: Zucotti Park, Chase Plaza, Nevelson Plaza, Bowling Green. Join us as we capture these giants in our midst.
This selection of sites isn't a complete exploration of the sculptures in lower Manhattan. You are welcome to go where you please and work on others not mentioned here. Battery Park is a rich source of material as is Brookfield Place. Trinity Church and Oculus are other alternatives.
And of course there is alway Lady Liberty in the Harbor that can be viewed from multiple places along the riverfront.
