Experience the rich artistic and cultural traditions of Germany, the Czech Republic, and Switzerland while learning about and making art. The courses will make full use of the museums, artists, and cultural institutions in these three countries to help students develop a greater awareness of art and its development throughout history. Particular focus will be placed on art and culture of the region and its complex political and cultural histories.

We will begin with two weeks in Prague; then make our way to Berlin for four weeks of travel, study, and art making; and then conclude in Switzerland with a trip to the Alps and the international art fair Art Basel.
