Axonometric drawing showing the construction of a Hellenistic stoa (drawing by Samuel Holzman)
Friends of the BSA in Greece lecture series.
Dr Samuel Holzman (Princeton University), “Archaeological drawing in (and out of) perspective”
Archaeologists draw not just to show their discoveries to others. Archaeological drawing is a visual language, one for recording evidence and pondering ideas that often need more than words to express. For the Thursday afternoon Friends of the BSA talk, I will share some personal experiences from drawing for archaeology, as well as a brief history of the competition within archaeological drawing between two rival traditions: perspective drawing and non-perspective axonometric drawing. What do different graphic viewpoints say about archaeologists? Does (non-)perspective change our perception of the past?
In-person only, 6pm (Greece)
