Drawn to Print
A selection of prints and sketches created by some of the 17 Union students who studied at the Louvre Museum during their winter mini-term in Paris. Professor David Ogawa taught an art history class, and Professor Sandra Wimer taught studio printmaking. The visual artists observed and sketched sculpture, architectural elements and other spaces in and around the Louvre, and worked in L’atelier de l’Orme on the outskirts of Paris, where they transferred their sketches into etchings. Employing a technique called drypoint, they used a scribe to scratch the surface of a zinc, copper or Plexiglas plate, which was then inked and printed.
