Impressions of the Louvre
February 10 - March 10, 2006

During winter break, 2005, twenty-one students and two faculty embarked on a three-week study of the Louvre Museum in Paris.  The group, led by Professor Sandy Wimer, drew the sculpture, the architectural elements, and other spaces found inside and outside the Louvre.  

The prints you see here are from this time of study in Paris.

This studio group also made dry point etchings that they printed at L'atelier de l'Orme, a cooperative print shop on the outskirts of Paris.Drypoint, the most immediate etching technique is done using a scribe and scratching the surface of a zinc, copper or plexiglass plate that is then inked and printed.
