London and Florence: Arts in Context

 

The London and Florence program compares the artistic achievements of two historically prominent cities. Participants study the historical and political context of art, architecture, literature and theatre as well as Italian language. Visits to museums, galleries, theatres, short trips to other areas of England and Italy, and discussions with local scholars supplement this coursework. Students spend eight weeks in each city and enjoy a week-long mid-semester break.

Florence

 

The Florence program provides an excellent opportunity to study Renaissance painting, sculpture, architecture, history, and literature for students interested in art, history, Romance languages and the humanities. Italian language instruction, a studio art course, art history courses, and courses providing a broad perspective on Italian contributions to world civilization facilitate the study of Florentine artistic and cultural heritage. Visits to museums and galleries, short field trips to other cities throughout Italy, and discussions with local scholars supplement this coursework. Staying with Italian host families enriches participants' awareness of modern Italian life as well as the academic study of Italian Renaissance culture.

Chicago Semester in the Arts

 

The Chicago Arts Program is a 15-week semester of urban art immersion. While living in Chicago, in addition to attending a wide range of cultural events, students meet and work with local artists and arts professionals in part-time internships, on independent study projects, and in two courses, the core seminar, Negotiating the Artworld, and an elective special topics seminar or studio-based workshop. Possible internship placements include but are not limited to: museums and galleries; artists' studios; theatre and dance companies; recording studios and popular music venues; literary organizations and publications; film and video production companies; architecture firms; arts education and community outreach organizations and with graphic and interior designers. http://www.acm.edu/
