LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM — Experience British and international classic and contemporary art in the heart of London! This Study Abroad program provides an opportunity for art students to enrich a studio practice, expand their knowledge of British and world art history, and make intelligent connections between resource materials and creative works.
Explore London museums and galleries and learn how to use travel as a resource for making art. You will visit and view the galleries in London as well as many other cultural sites. The Art in London course provides an opportunity for students to enrich their studio practice, expand their knowledge of Art History and make intelligent connections between resource materials and creative works. Each student keeps a comprehensive journal/image collection or sketchbook and makes two proposals for future projects inspired by what was learned from the many field trips. The time in London will be further enriched by a British Culture class offered through Kingston University.
Field trips include Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, Stonehenge, Houses of Parliament, Brighton, Oxford, museums, galleries, and more! Optional travel throughout the U.K. and Europe during two weekends.
