Associated most typically with the European Renaissance, copperplate engraving proved a vital and expansive method of printmaking for numerous artists working after the dawn of the 20th century. Some artists found the deliberate, systematic process of engraving lines, one by one, into copper plates to be a useful method for recording the people and places of their modern world. Others believed that engraving could be a productive process in avant-garde movements like Surrealism. Engraving continues to be practiced today by artists who engage with the technique’s deep history while deriving ever new forms and meaning from it. The exhibition Engraving after 1900: A Technique in Its Time features artwork from the Davison Art Collection, including works by Stanley Anderson, Stanley William Hayter, Dorothy Dehner, Norma Morgan, Anton Würth, Andrew Raftery, Jean-Émile Laboureur, and many others. 

On the Road with Hiroshige is a co-presented by the Davison Art Collection and ARHA 263A, taught by Talia Andrei. 

Tucker and Gooyabadi will discuss their project-based course, "Visualizing Firearms History: An Applied Quantitative and Archival Approach to Project-Based Learning," which provided a unique cross-disciplinary opportunity to study important historical questions surrounding firearms. Combining quantitative methodology in data science with qualitative research methods in history, students answered questions they are passionate about based on existing datasets, as well as read, discuss, and write responses to the latest historical scholarship on the technological development of guns, firearms in media, gun violence statistics, and advertisements. Students developed skills in hypothesis testing and inferential statistical analysis alongside qualitative research methods used in history.  

Speakers:  

Jennifer Tucker, Professor of History, Founding Director, Center for the Study of Guns & Society 

Maryam Gooyabadi, Assistant Professor of Practice at the Quantitative Analysis Center, Specialist in Applied Data analysis
