LIVING PARIS: EXPERIENCING AND REPRESENTING THE MODERN CITY

HART 2042 & 3042

Art & Architecture Study Tour, Paris, January 2017

Description:
Over the span of three weeks, students will
explore this iconic modern city by walking its
streets, experiencing its architecture, and
encountering its works of art. Because the
nineteenth century fundamentally altered the
cultural and urban environment of Paris,
students will study the contemporary city
through the historic lens of the 1800s,
contextualising their individual experience of
Paris through the architecture, art, and
literature of the Second Empire and Belle
poque. This unit will use drawing, journaling,
and writing as modes of individual research
and encourage students to engage with Paris
as a complex, living city.
Lecturers:
