art and design 22-2275 - Draw Italy Then Now

Institution:

Columbia College-Chicago

Subject:

Description:

In this course the city of Florence and its environs will serve as our classroom and source material. Students will explore the forms and ideas of Italy's artistic heritage by doing on-site drawings of works of art, architecture, and the landscape. Course readings and discussion will focus not only on the Medieval and Renaissance history of Florence, but also on the relationship of these historic forms and the philosophies that inform them to contemporary art, thought, and culture. Our site drawings, readings, and discussions will become the raw material for a prolonged studio project through which students will explore this relationship between the past and the present. This course will also include regular critiques and field trips to art museums and other sites of artistic interest. Previous advanced or intermediate-level drawing study and well-developed drawing skills will be necessary. 3 CREDITS
