— Drawing in the Museums

Catalog description

This course develops the students’ sense, understanding, and appreciation of form and its material embodiment in diverse masterworks of world art. Students draw in museums as a way of seeking and discovering form, and in the process adapt their drawing tools and methods to the formal language of the masterwork; in homework students research the materials and techniques of the original; and in the classroom they discuss and explore further the relations among material, form, and idea.
