Description

This two-week program will immerse participants in the grandeur of Provence through an on-site study that explores the Roman ruins, and architecture from the Romanesque period, and the 17th and 18th centuries, as well as works by Vincent van Gogh and Paul Cezanne, among other artists. We will visit Arles, where Van Gogh's "Yellow House" once stood, and Saint Remy-de-Provence, where he painted Starry Night. Additional excursions with on-site lectures to Aix-en-Provence, Nimes, Orange and Les Baux de Provence will complement classroom study.

In addition, time will be reserved for students to draw, paint and photograph on location. Participants will stay in the heart of the medieval walled city of Avignon, one of the most beautiful and historically important cities of the region. Walking tours within Avignon, such as the renowned Popes' Palace are also included. Classes are held Monday through Friday; the weekend is yours for travel, or to discover the fabulous selection of street markets, cafes and cultural activities that are available in Avignon and its surrounding villages.
