The Getty Villa

So about a month ago I got the opportunity to go to the Getty Villa in Southern California and it was amazing! The Getty Villa is a recreation of a Roman Villa based on an actual villa preserved by Vesuvius at Herculaneum.

It was amazing to see the collection antiquities at the Villa, I am in awe of the talents and skill of ancient artists.

Possibly one of the coolest thing about the Getty is that they're an independently wealthy museum and as such they can do all sorts of cool things that most museums could only dream of doing.

Precision and Perfection

I've read or been taught that in Islamic art and designs, the artist or craftsman will make a mistake or a flaw in the design on purpose because only Alah\God is perfect. I am not anywhere skilled enough yet to need to include a flaw on purpose.

I generally need a lot more precision in my work and the above image is a perfect example of this. I started drawing this new design and I was a little off, I should have fixed things then but I went forward hoping for the best. I got so far off that I couldn't even complete what I was doing and it was a lot worse to try and fix.
I can still pull something out of this jumble but it won't be what I was hoping for.
Learn frommy folly! I will try and learn as well.
