Participants record their observations in sketchbook form on daily outings to significant sites. Rome, incomparably rich historically and visually, provides a host of subjects ideal for improving drawing technique. The concentration required in drawing directly from observation leads to a deeper understanding of the city's forms.
This course includes a day-long academic excursion outside of Rome. The exact location will be announced in the course schedule.
Prior to Fall 2019, this course was Painting, Drawing and Sculpture 3351.
Students who are not BFA majors should enroll in ART 1010.
Students who register for this course are expected to have some familiarity (or experience) with the fundamentals of drawing. Support will be offered, but this is not a “learning to draw” class.
