For the week leading up to July 4th, ICAA Chapters

For the week leading up to July 4th, ICAA Chapters have joined forces for a unified sketching subject: The Statue of Liberty!

Join @icaachicago , @icaaflorida , @classicist.nc , @icaarockymountain , @icaasoutheast , @icaa_socal , and @icaatexas for this special sketch at home project in celebration of the 4th of July!

THE STATUE OF LIBERTY
The creation of the Statue of Liberty was inclusive of some of the world’s most iconic visionaries: Édouard de Laboulaye, Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi, Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, Alexandre-Gustave Eiffel and Richard Morris Hunt. After two years of design and multiple rejected proposals, Hunt’s final pedestal design was approved in 1884. The Neo-Classical granite pedestal, completed on April 22, 1886, was designed to sit within the star shaped structure of Fort Wood, an old army base located in the bay from the 19th century. The truncated pyramid sits 154 feet high, extends 15 feet below ground and is inclusive of eleven interior levels. Each of the four facades are uniform and deliberately include muted details as to not divert attention from the statue. Some of the notable architectural details include: Doric columns, Aztec motifs and simple round disks above each pediment which were originally intended to bear each state’s coat of arms but this was never completed. The pedestal is topped with an observation platform placed by Bartholdi above which the statue itself rises. Sources: National Park Service, Library of Congress.

Here’s how it works:
Submit your sketches using the hashtag #ICAAFourthofJuly and #floridasummersketchtour and tag your sketches with both @icaaflorida and @classicist_org or direct message us for a chance to be featured on our Instagram. You may also email director@flclassicist.org. Deadline is Monday, July 6th, by noon. All may participate!

Join us for our
FLORIDA SUMMER SKETCH TOUR
a weekly virtual sketching exercise!
Week 5 Subject: FLORIDA STATE CAPITOL, Tallahassee, FL
Beginning as a log building in 1824, then moving to a two-story masonry building two years later, the Florida State Capitol Building evolved and expanded as Florida finally became a state in 1845 and grew considerably as the state experienced an economic boom in the 1880s. A cupola and boldly striped exterior awnings were added in 1891. In 1902, Architect Frank Pierce Milburn added the classical style dome and first expansions to include the Governor’s office and Chambers of the House of Representatives, Senate, and Supreme Court.
In 1923, at the peak of Florida’s building boom, Architect Henry J. Klutho nearly doubled the usable space while retaining its classic lines by adding two new wings and a marble interior. In 1936 and 1947, large wings were added to the north and south ends of the building for the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Threatened with demolition in the late 1970s when the new capitol was built, the Historic Capitol was saved through citizens’ action and was restored to its 1902 appearance. The intensive project of historical and archaeological investigation makes this restoration of the Old Capitol (1978-1982) one of the most thoroughly documented restoration projects in the nation. Architectural highlights include the elaborate art glass dome, red and white striped awnings, and a representation of the Florida State Seal over the entry columns.
Here’s how it works:
1. Select an image posted here or visit the location if possible for a Plein Air sketch
2. Using any medium you like, sketch or paint one or more images/views.
3. Snap a photo of your illustration and post it to your Instagram account (or email to director@flclassicist.org) with your location, a little something about yourself and the following tags by Sunday night at Midnight.

This Week’s Subject: Vinoy Hotel, St. Petersburg
The historic Vinoy Park hotel was designed by Architect Henry Taylor, built by Aymer Vinoy Laughner, and opened New Year’s Eve 1925. The largest and most luxurious of the 1920s boom-era hotels in the city, the cost of construction was $3.5 million, at the time, the largest construction project in Florida history. It was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, designated a local landmark in 1986, and later added to the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Historic Hotels of America in 1993.
The Vinoy’s Mediterranean Revival style, popularized by Palm Beach Architect Addison Mizner, includes a façade of intricately carved stone columns, elaborate Pompeian frescos, vaulted ceilings, hand-stenciled pecky cypress ceiling beams, glazed tile floors with hand painted accents, and ornate plaster castings throughout.

This Week’s Subject: Bok Tower Gardens, Lake Wales, FL
These gardens and subsequent structures were started in Lake Wales, Florida in 1921.
Edward W. Bok, editor of Ladies Home Journal along with his wife, Mary Louise Curtis Bok, were inspired to begin this endeavor while visiting the area during their winter vacations in Florida.
Many craftsmen and designers were involved in the vision of the Gardens. The Gardens themselves were designed by the great American landscape architect Fredrick Law Olmsted, Jr., who designed many American landmarks such as the Jefferson Memorial and the National Mall.
The famous tower was designed by American architect Milton B. Medary. This tower is a unique blend of both Gothic and Art Deco with a playful nod to animals of the woods as ornamentation. The tower also serves as a 60 bell carillon, hence the nickname “Singing Tower.” Thank you to all for participating in our #floridasummersketchtour Instagram event.

Week 2 Subject: VIZCAYA, Miami, FL
HISTORY: In 1910 The Agri Industrialist, James Deering, began his plans for a European Villa in Miami. Mr. Deering hired artist & designer Paul Chalfin as his Owners representative. Chalfin was responsible for hiring architect F. Burrall Hoffman, formally with the Carrere & Hastings, a renowned Beaux-Art architecture firm in New York. Additionally, Chalfin hired Columbian born Landscape Architect, Diego Suarez.
The inspiration for Deering’s Villa was Palladio’s Villa Rezzonico, located in the Veneto. Along with Chalfin they toured the Italian region collecting many architectural pieces to be incorporated in Vizcaya. Villa Vizcaya was completed & showcased on Christmas day, 1915. Subsequently the Gardens were completed a few years later due to lack of labor and Word War I.

Reposted from @classicist_org: No matter where you are, or how limited your ability to travel, there is a world of architectural and design exploration available to you: journey to great classical cities, take AIA-approved architectural courses, hear from renowned architects, designers, historians, and more, and dive into original documentaries on some of the great talents of our time.
The ICAA’s offers “Classicism at Home,” a wealth of online lectures, courses, articles, and resources. Visis classicist.org today to begin your journey, and follow our account for your daily dose of classical and traditional architecture, design, and arts!
