Program Description

This course will involve the exploration of visually and historically rich Florence, Italy through a series of assignments involving mixed media drawing, collage, and book arts. The course will be formulated to accommodate introductory students with no prior studio art experience as well as art majors needing upper-division studio electives.

Florence offers a superb setting for this course, as it was in Florence that the Renaissance took root and flourished in the 15th century. I taught an earlier iteration of this courser in 2008, and have taught mini-term courses previously, so am sensitive to the requirements of creating a syllabus that involves many short, varied projects. The fast pace and total immersion in the subject that is typical of a three-week mini-term is well suited to drawing, collage and book arts activities.
