This workshop, held in the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, considers drawing from the standpoint of its underlying structure. The exercises are aimed at developing the ability to see a subject and, by placing marks on paper, transpose the appropriate light and pictorial space. At the start of the course, exercises concerned with line, form, shading, and perspective are undertaken. Thereafter, the class undertakes a series of traditional drawing problems involving the still life, portrait, interior, and landscape. In all exercises, design is stressed and the use of various media is encouraged.

Workshop. 4 units. Undergraduate credit $825, graduate credit $1,450. Limited enrollment.
Tuesday, Jan. 31, 5:30-7:30 pm, 51 Brattle Street, Grossman Common Room. Spring term

Book art is a medium of expression like photography, oil, watercolor, digital art, and sculpture. It is a means of visual storytelling in which the simplest and most complex ideas, concepts, and stories are related using images and text. Artists' books range from journals to collections of images to installations filling a room or hanging from the ceiling. This course teaches the basic techniques of book making. It explores content development and encourages challenging the conventional notion of a book--the form it takes and how it is read--and in doing so offers alternatives to how a story is told.
