Sketching historic sites provides participants with practical knowledge of tradition as manifest in the architecture The Sharksmouth Estate's Stone House was built as the summer home of Harriot Appleton and Greely S. Curtis of Boston. It was designed in 1868 by the firm Ware and Van Brunt, who had just completed the design of Harvard's Memorial Hall. Built in 1869, the walls of this dominating and beautiful home are made of pure granite from Rockport, MA. The stairway was salvaged from the John Hancock House in Boston and still glimmers with each step. The third floor was added a decade after the original construction to accommodate an ever-expanding family.The house is situated on a high promontory at the center of the forty-acre estate and overlooks the Massachusetts Bay. At one end of the 陆 mile shoreline stands a dramatic undercut rock formation, historically known as Sharksmouth. From this landmark the estate takes its name. Development of the estate also included a "cottage" (also built in 1869), a caretaker's house, stables, barns, pasture land, a henyard, orchards, gardens, and a network of paths and avenues that tie it all together as one entity.
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.
