Between Tradition and Tomorrow: Sketching Urban China —— Winter Short-term Excursions 2026-2027 With Professor Peili Wang (SCAD Atlanta) drawing becomes more than representation—it becomes understanding. Students will immerse themselves in the dynamic urban landscapes of Shanghai, Chongqing, and Chengdu, exploring the dialogue between past and future. From period furniture and historic drawings to artworks in classic interiors, the experience reveals the cultural layers that shape these cities, alongside their most treasured architectural and sculptural works. Through a range of drawing techniques, students will build a strong, portfolio-ready body of work—enhanced by reflective writing and curated materials. This journey is both an artistic exploration and an opportunity to experience new places, perspectives, and possibilities. Contact Professor Wang or Study Abroad department for more information. #SCAD #SCADAtlanta #StudyAbroad #UrbanSketching
