Study art history in one of the great cities of the world: Paris, France. The 10-day program will cover art and culture from the Renaissance to the present through the lens of artworks in French collections, and students will receive course credit for Art-115: Art History Survey II.
Course content will be delivered online, and students will have two meetings before departure to cover travel information and preview course material.
During the program, students will visit La Sainte Chapelle, Notre Dame, the Louvre Museum, the Musée d'Orsay, the Orangerie, Versailles Palace, the Fondation Louis Vuitton and the Centre Pompidou, Monet's home and studio in Normandy and other locations. Students will have the opportunity to see world-famous artworks by Leonardo Da Vinci, Raphael, Van Gogh, Picasso and countless others.
Students will also explore well-known sites in Paris: the Eiffel Tower, Sacre Coeur, the Opera (Palais Garnier) and the Luxembourg Gardens, as well as take walking tours of the Montmartre neighborhood, the Left Bank, the Île Saint Louis, the Marais and others.
Apart from museums and art, there will be plenty of time to enjoy the beauty and ambience of the city. Students will visit markets, parks and architectural landmarks and walk through neighborhoods, sampling pastries, coffees and whatever else the class discovers.
