Description

This seminar is designed to provide practical and aesthetic dialogue for students, centered around the production of works on paper. Classes will be held often in the Jean and Steven Goldman Study Center, where the focus will be first hand experience of works in the collection of the Art Institute, providing an overview of the History of Prints and Drawings. Through contact with artists and art workers, we will discuss issues of professional presentation, conservation tips, and strategies for professional life beyond school. Included is a field trip to a private collection in Chicago focused on the work of younger artists, giving students valuable insight into why and how people collect. The format will be split between discussion of participants' work and the study of printed art and drawing, especially focused on the period after 1900.
