HARVARD GAZETTE ARCHIVES
In brief
HUAM seeks sketchers
Beginning in September, the Harvard University Art Museums (HUAM) will present “Sketching After School” — a weekly drawing series for young people between the ages of 8 and 12. Artist and educator Deborah Putnoi, who has degrees from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, and Tufts University, will lead the sketching activities.
The hour-long sketching sessions will meet in the Fogg Art Museum’s Calderwood Courtyard each Thursday (beginning Sept. 14) at 3:30 p.m. The opening session will run Sept. 14, 21, and 28, while the second session runs Oct. 5, 12, and 19. The cost is $25 ($20 for HUAM members) for three afternoons.
Participants will also have free access to all the galleries of HUAM. Paper and sketching pencils will be provided.
Registration and payment are required by Sept. 8, as space is limited (participants may register for one series only). Call Susannah Hutchison at (617) 496-8576 for further information or to register.
BSC fall course in reading, study strategies approaching
Beginning Oct. 11, Harvard’s Bureau of Study Counsel (BSC) will begin offering its fall Reading and Study Strategy seminar. Through readings, films, and classroom exercises, students learn to read more purposively, selectively, and with greater speed and comprehension. Hour-long sessions will be held Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (Oct. 11-Nov. 10) at 8 a.m. and Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday (Oct. 11-Nov. 9) at 4 p.m. The cost is $150.
To register, visit the BSC at 5 Linden St., or call (617) 495-2581 for more information.
