This practical hands-on drawing course covers the fifth subject in the Elements of Classical Architecture sequence—the nomenclature, grammar, and proportional relationships of the canonical Corinthian order. The course introduces the order through freehand drawing of a Corinthian column and entablature. Instruction is live and on-line. This introduction forms part of a foundation for understanding all of the classical orders from the practitioner’s perspective and lays the groundwork for exploring their use in an architectural composition.

Course Prerequisites: Please note that in order to enroll in the class, participants should have completed the ICAA’s Introduction to Mouldings and Tuscan Order courses (or have equivalent experience), and must be able to sketch and draft in pencil at a rudimentary level.

Materials & Virtual Course Requirements: Please note that participants are required to bring drawing materials to participate in the program. A full list of materials is available here.

In addition, as participants will be working directly with the instructors over Zoom, a computer or tablet with internet access and a functioning camera and microphone is required. Participants will be asked to scan or photograph their work and send it to the instructors during the course. Prior to the day of the course, please make sure you have a working camera and adequate lighting in order to take images of your work.
