For Middle & High School Teachers
Summer Session: July 11-22, Monday - Friday, 10am-3:30pm
Follow-up Sessions: September 24, October 22, & November 9, 2005
Employing a strong cross-disciplinary approach, Public Art and Architecture and the American Industrial Revolution will focus on significant artists, architects, and works produced during this seminal period. Massachusetts is fortunate in having some of the country’s finest examples of 19th century public art, architecture, and landscape architecture. The planned city of Lawrence with its canals and mill buildings contrasted to Boston’s Back Bay and Emerald Necklace shows the diversity of the living architecture and public spaces created in the late 19th Century.
The first week of the Institute will take place in Lawrence, with the Heritage State Park as the base, and focus on the architecture, public spaces and public art that developed during the Industrial Revolution. The second week of the Institute will be held in Boston at Massachusetts College of Art where participants will explore the Back Bay area and the Emerald Necklace. The relationships and the contrasts of these two communities will illustrate the differing approaches and outcomes to architecture and landscape design in the late 19th Century.
