STEM & Art in Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands
Experience the perfect blend of Art and Science in three of the most important countries for the subjects. Learn about the fundamentals of studio art and explore all the sciences (biology, chemistry, computer science, earth sciences, geography, mathematics, physics, etc.) and their interdependence. For STEM, you will be able to engage with the class content through project-based activities and career exploration modules that will be carried out at different industrial sites, universities, and cities including Berlin, Munich, Dresden, Vienna, and Amsterdam. Interact with a variety of scientific experts and complete laboratory activities out in the field. The itinerary will also include many opportunities to meet artists and learn about a variety of art mediums in conjunction with the basic principles and elements of visual art. The ART 140 course is ideal for studying abroad because different mediums can be selected in response to the work viewed in museums and the experience of the landscape. In lieu of slide presentations and longer projects in the classrooms, you will meet for half-day class periods followed by visits to cultural institutions.
