The Summer Drawing Tour through Historic New England - Eustis Estate
Saturday, June 24, 9:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Eustis Estate, 1424 Canton Avenue, Milton, Mass.
Join the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art for this Summer Drawing Tour series through Historic New England, led by Architect, David Pearson.
Sketching historic sites provides participants with practical knowledge of tradition as manifest in the architecture. The Eustis Estate designed by renowned Boston architect W. Ralph Emerson and built in 1878 will allow the student a rare opportunity to study an intact late 19th-century exterior and interior.
Participants follow in the great tradition of architects and artists who have learned from drawing in situ. One may take a thousand photos of a subject and may not know it…but if one spends some time drawing the same object …you will have it in your mind forever. To draw is to see.
The program focuses on the enduring vitality and continuity of the classical tradition through the means of observational and analytical drawing. The morning session will be spent drawing the interior of the house with special attention to the architectural details. The afternoon will be spent sketching the exterior as it relates to the landscape.
