Lis’s Teaching Experience

DRAW 341 | Travel Portfolio

In this course, students developed studies of urban contexts, structures, architectural and sculptural elements, interiors, period furniture, and worked from historical drawings. A personal focus within the breadth of the portfolio established primary motifs, processes, and materials. The portfolio was accompanied by related writings and collected materials. Inventive approaches were encouraged.
