| Description | Stop by this info session to learn more about the Study Abroad program Interdisciplinary Studio Art & Italian Culture, Summer Term-A 2020 Undergraduates and graduate students from all majors and all UW campuses are welcome, as are alumnae, students from other institutions, and all levels of art experience. "All roads lead to Rome." Many people have been drawn to one of Italy's most vital cities, Rome, for its art, architecture, ancient ruins, food, public spaces, and cultural richness. This program will give students from all majors the opportunity to immerse themselves in the experience of Rome creatively and adventurously through the lens of visual art and the culture of the city, as well as each student's own unique background, disciplines, and interests. Class will be held throughout Rome itself and at the UW Rome Center in Palazzo Pio in Rome's historic center. We will visit museums, galleries, churches, and other sites of cultural interest in Rome, including studying art through the work of artists like Michelangelo, Bernini, and Caravaggio, as well as more recent modern and contemporary art. We will see artworks, architecture, and ruins, as well as cultural sites related to other arts and/or disciplines. Students will also be able to visit sites of their choice and/or select their own topics for study and incorporation into their studio art in Rome. Students will study Italian language for an introduction to basic speaking, listening, and comprehension. We will also explore various aspects of the history and culture of Rome and this engaging host country. |
