In tribute to Epcot 30th celebration, here is a series of articles with Epcot's WDI original artwork. In this part one we will have a closer look to the original renderings for Epcot icon: Spaceship Earth. Mot of the renderings below were done by artist/illustrator Claudio Mazzoli, except the rendering on the top which was done by Herb Ryman.
We begin by this Herb Ryman painting showing the exterior of Spaceship Earth. Next are some artwork for the cro-magnon cave sequence.
Strangely, it seems that a scene with dinosaurs was considered before being cancelled.
Here is the rendering of the egyptian temple sequence.
This one is for the Phenician scene.
Three renderings , now, for the Gutenberg press scene.
Artwork for the Michelangelo - Sixtine chapel scene.
Two artwork for a scene called "the age of invention"
The model for the telephone-telegraph scene of the "age of invention"
Let's end with three artwork for the outer space "planetarium" sequence as it was envisioned at the beginning
