Program Overview
"Let your drawing be like a good deed in a naughty world” -- Harold Van Buren Magonigle
This fall semester the ICA&CA will be expanding its professional intensive programming to include a focused offering devoted exclusively to the development of drawing skills. To this end we have assembled a specialist faculty comprised of architects, designers, professional renders and fine artists having noted national and international careers based upon their drawing, design and allied fine art practices.
We believe that participants completing this program will not only learn to draw better, they will develop a better working knowledge of the elements comprising the classical vocabulary---as the act of drawing encourages close study and promotes understanding. Program participants will explore a wide range of drawing techniques and materials including traditional wash rendering, pen and ink, architectural watercolor sketching, and cast drawing.
Lastly, to further advance the practice of drawing as essential to the continued professional development of young architects working within the classical tradition , drawing program participants* are eligible to apply for the Zivkovic Connolly Drawing Prize and its attendant cash award by submitting art work (graphic representation of architecture) completed during residency in the program.
For further information about the program, to learn about scholarship opportunities or to register please contact Leah Aron Academic Programs Coordinator at la@classicist.org
or call (212) 730 -9646 x 101.
* Prize candidates must be practicing architects having obtained an architectural degree within the last ten years*.
