Overview
What you will study
'The Root of Everything' - Drawing in Europe from the Renaissance to the Modern Period course offered by The Courtauld Institute of Art shall explore the material properties of different papers and media, their changing use from the Renaissance to the modern period, and the ways in which materials have been chosen to convey meaning. These object-study sessions in the prints and drawings room are complemented in the classroom by lectures and seminars that look at the role of drawing in the wider history of European art.
This course is co-taught by specialists in different historical periods and aspects of works on paper: an art-historian, a curator and a paper conservator, and includes hands-on sessions exploring media and materials.

- the changing status of drawing within an artist’s oeuvre;
