Drawing the City

Nostalgic Timelines

Abstract

Drawing the City, an advanced special topics seminar and studio at UMass Amherst, was designed to investigate the value and efficacy of eidetic operations for representing the urban landscape. Coursework emphasizes hybrid drawing methods– including hand drawing, collage, digital media and graphic illustration– as a way to merge, morph and invent new and original imaging techniques for both analysis and communication.
