ART3038 ST:Art and the City, Exploring NYC Art

In this experiential arts course, students learn art history while also making art. Students will spend a few days in the art studio learning basic observational sketching techniques: how to quickly capture what they see with pencil and sketchpad. Then they will travel to a city, visiting art museums, galleries and other cultural institutions in a vibrant metropolitan setting. Students will be challenged to look at art as form and interpret it contextually. They will reflect on this immersive experience, documenting observations in a sketchbook-journal utilizing sketching and graphic notetaking techniques. No drawing experience is necessary. The course will include daily field trips to museums, sketching, discussions, critiques, and presentation Credits: 3.000
