While studying fine arts abroad, you can gain a more general overview of a nation’s art culture and history through humanities and art history courses, or you can hone in on a more particular field, such as studio art, sculpture, pottery, painting, ceramics, illustration, jewelry making, textile design, glass art, shoemaking/design, theatre, dance, or photography (and many, many more).

Fine arts courses abroad typically run for a full semester and last roughly three to four months. It’s highly recommended to study art abroad during either the fall or spring semester as the traffic from tourists is typically much less congested. Less congestion gives you easier access to the famous sites and subjects you will be studying (and more hands-on time with your professors).

While most art courses will have regular class meetings, it is very common for teachers to encourage their students to get outside of the classroom for field based project work. Some fine arts courses abroad will even offer daily activities, such as museum trips or live theater performances, as an alternative to the day’s lecture. Develop your personal style, theatre persona, or dance foundation while learning in some of the most world renowned locations for the arts.
