The Christopher H. Browne Edinburgh Drawing Tour provides participants with practical and theoretical knowledge of the classical tradition as manifest in the architecture, urbanism and landscapes of Scotland’s capital city.
The program focuses study on the enduring vitality and continuity of the classical tradition through the means of observational and analytical drawing, and wash and watercolor. Each day is spent drawing, in situ, at sites that underscore the relationship between buildings, the human figure, and their built and natural environment. The course has been structured thematically to examine the classical tradition from a range of viewpoints, encompassing not only the study of antique precedents but also an awareness of the picturesque and romantic traditions.
The program provides credit towards the Certificate in Classical Architecture.
Lead Instructor: George Saumarez Smith (Director, ADAM Architecture)
Cost: $2,500 for ICAA members, $2,600 for non-members (travel & accommodation not included); scholarship opportunities available.
