3-D!

Remember the Thomas Hart Benton murals which used to grace a conference room at The New School? Well, I've just learned how to use aprogram called Google Sketch-Up, and with it have managed to recreate - in barest outline - the room with the mural wrapped around it. I need to do some more research to find out just where each individual painting was placed, and to be able to estimate the space between the floor and where the mural started, and what the windows looked like... but you already get a sense of it, no? (In Sketch-It the pics are much clearer and you can circle around, go up and down, closer and farther away... Pretty exciting, huh!
