Paris in Boston Sketching Tour: French Influence on Back Bay Architecture and Landscape, a course by Kahlil Hamady
This Plein Air sketching tour, offered jointly by the ICAA and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, explores the origins of the design of Commonwealth Avenue and the Public Gardens, their roots in the landscape of Versailles and Paris, and the adaptation of French Classical architectural, landscape and urban design into Boston and the American Classical Landscape. Attendees will learn simple yet effective methods of studying and drawing in situ. The focus will be on studying and examining through free hand sketches and drawings the relationships between the natural and urban landscapes and the Classical and Picturesque approaches to design. Students are responsible for providing their own supplies.
Date: Summer 2020
