ART5070 MUSEUMS AS STUDIOS
This course will use the museums in New York City as our studios. Artwork both traditional and contemporary will act as our aesthetic inspiration for creativity and personal investigation. Activities will include brief lectures, drawing, painting, assemblage, and collage. Our time in the museums will be spent drawing and sketching: on alternating days we will work in the studios at Manhattanville College developing our sketches and drawings into major portfolio works. The museums will include The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Brooklyn Museum, The Museum of Natural History, and a trip to galleries.
