Description:

CREATIVE SPACE ART EXPERIENCE IN FLORENCE~ TUSCANY: This course is an intensive studio art experience that will immerse students in the vibrant city of Florence, Italy, as well as nearby towns throughout Tuscany. Students will explore the theme of "space" and will become acutely aware of our spatial surroundings: how we see and move through them, and how these experiences of space can impact us intellectually, psychologically, and emotionally. Through readings, writing assignments, discussions, walking tours, individual exploration, and directed art projects, students will explore ways to respond artistically to the uniqueness of their new spatial surroundings. Students will work in both traditional drawing and water-based painting materials, as well as utilizing many unconventional and experimental techniques and materials. Students will be exposed to some of the historic sites and artistic treasures of the past, and will also visit the studios of contemporary Florentine artists and take in the local art gallery scene. This course is designed to benefit visual art students, but all enthusiastic, open-minded, and creative individuals are encouraged to find out more about the trip.
