FA 121 — Drawing in the Museums
2 credits; 1 lecture and 2 lab hours
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.
