A Guide to Studying Art Abroad
Why Study Art Abroad
Studying art abroad offers several perks, but none so great as the possibility to experience ancient and world famous art first hand. The history of art is a long and winding story, ranging in style, always reflecting the environment and society in which it was made.
Art is a unique field that combines timelessness with a specific moment in time. Therefore, to fully understand a piece or artist, secondhand information can only take you so far. The most important benefit of studying art abroad is the chance to experience and learn in a way that just isn’t possible in a domestic education. Experiencing the culture and the day to day lives of the people of a city sheds light on the perspective of the artist who used to call it home. The same can be said for taking in the landscape, the weather, and learning about the time and mood of the work.
Even if you are studying a type of art born of your country, it is still fascinating to see other foreign artists' interpretations of the style, and give you a more well-rounded view and understanding of the art itself. The chance to experience the culture, society, and people that influenced an artist and their work gives you an incredible chance to get back to the source and the roots. With this advantage and a deeper understanding of the field in general, you can return to your home university and move forward with a bigger picture than any book or documentary could ever give you.
