The Hub featured instructor the Center for Visual Arts in a recent article about learning during a pandemic. Instructor Luc Phinney took his Art of Architecture students on a sketch trip to Assisi, Italy. Instructors at the Johns Hopkins Krieger School of Arts and Sciences had been advised to give students a bit of breathing space while they grappled with the stresses inherent in the online semester, and Phinney figured a vacation would be just the thing.

Not physically, of course. Instead, the Center for Visual Arts instructor asked his class to visit the website Google Earth, and gave them a puzzle: find the fountain in a famous sketch he showed them. Read about this and other ways the Center for Visual Arts has offered courses at a distance.
