Roma (Rome)

Term: Summer 
Dates: July 2010

Description: This four-week program offers you an intense immersion in the extraordinary city of Rome. We will use the Eternal City as our laboratory as we study visual culture. We will explore the history of the city through its monuments and we will use the masterpieces of Western art available to us in Rome to examine issues in the history of art. We will also embrace the dynamics of the art of contemporary Rome and its links to the past both in the drawing studio and in the field.

The core of the program is a four-week course of study in art history and the visual arts. All classes will be taught on the streets and in the churches and museums of the city with some classroom time as needed. Each class, with the exception of Survival Italian, offers three hours of college-level academic credit.   Classes are held from Monday to Thursday to allow for long weekends for individual travel or group excursions.
