This twenty day on-site studio course in Spain will enlighten and inspire students to create new artworks through the collection of visual data principally in the form of photographs and drawings. Students will explore the rich cultural history of Barcelona and Madrid, visiting many renowned art museums, historic monuments, architectural sites, and partaking in culturally enriching activities. Emphasis will be placed on responding to a new cultural/ geographical environment by participating in multiple studio exercises as well as spending three days of the trip creating artwork on-site at an artist residency that will allow the students to respond to the Spanish culture and their experiences.
