SEMO OFFERS ART WORKSHOPS

The Southeast Missouri State University art department will offer three workshops this summer.

The Age of Napoleon is a two-hour undergraduate or graduate workshop in art history. The workshop provides a historical background on the art, customs and trends in Europe during the time of Napoleon. The course will be held June 15-18 and 22-24.

A special overnight trip is planned to Memphis, Tenn., on June 25 to view the special, comprehensive exhibition of art, objects and personal possessions associated with Napoleon, said Bill Chamberlain of Southeast's art department. The workshop may be taken for three credit hours through special arrangement.

Starting June 15 and running through July 2 is Experimental Drawing, a three-credit-hour workshop under the direction of Ron Clayton of the art faculty. The workshop will meet from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday through Friday in the art building and at locations off campus. A variety of drawing strategies will be explored.

The final workshop, Idea Development by Drawing, under the direction of Grant Lund of the art department, will explore drawing as a process of investigating and developing creative ideas. The three-credit-hour workshop will meet in the art building from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday through Friday during the weeks of July 6-23.
