This series examines the career of Louis H. Sullivan
in four phases, from his youth and education through the mature
and late periods, examining the evolution of this great theorist's
concept of integrating nature and design. More than any other architect
of his time, Sullivan sought and successfully realized a synthesis
of the seemingly opposed forces of modern, industrial technology
with America's heritage of living in concert with nature. His ideas,
which have since had a profound and continuing influence on global
architecture, will be examined in depth.

Chicago has the most beautiful skyline in
North America, perhaps the world. Students will learn how to rapidly
document the buildings in their own graphic vocabulary, interior
and exterior. The class will stress a formulaic approach to developing
exceptional compositions using thumbnail diagrams and basic, non-technical
perspective. Emphasis will be placed on loose, free hand drawing
techniques in lieu of technical drawing. This class is appropriate
for beginners with no experience. Class time is spent mostly outdoors—please
dress accordingly.
CLASS MATERIALS
(students should purchase before start of class) Drawing on the
Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards; pencils – 4H/H/HB/B/2B/4B;
pencil sharpener; pens; white eraser; 9"x12” spiral or
loose bound sketch pad.
