| 4/18/26 Pacific Science Center arches from inside the courtyard |
Although I’ve sketched the Pacific Science Center’s iconic arches several times over the years, and I’ve seen a couple of IMAX films
and other ticketed events inside the Center, it had been 14 years since I was in
the central courtyard (I remember that day well – it was my first urban sketching workshop). After being closed to the public for many years, the
courtyard only recently reopened as a public space. Last Saturday was a
terrific day for USk Seattle to meet there: It was sunny all day, and the temp
got up to 70 by late-afternoon!
I first joined other sketchers in the courtyard to sketch the fountains (below) and my first view of the arches (top of post).

Feeling iconic, I then wandered outside the Science Center so that I could sketch the Space Needle (twice!) and the arches again, this time from a distance. I also caught my first busker of the year: a man playing an electric violin (and competing with a busking drummer nearby).
Sketching in the sunshine until I had to take my jacket off, it sure felt like spring!
These sketches bring back so many memories of visits to this iconic architecture over the years.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it was memorable for you! Under new management, the Science Center may change soon, but I'm sure the arches will always remain.
DeleteThere's quite a bit there to capture. Nice to see!!
