About The Program

Follow along with students as they spend spring break in Paris, France, immersed in Art History, Music, and Culture. Instructed & led on-site in Paris by Jennifer Cadero-Gillette, Art History Program Coordinator, this course is a historical and critical examination of the aesthetic and intellectual similarities between art history, music history, literature and culture from Ancient Egypt to contemporary Art. Emphasis is placed on an in-depth exploration of western cultures. In addition, this course provides an understanding of human creativity and expression through a comparative analysis of visual art and music. Students will explore emblematic sites and local street art, enjoy local cuisine and cooking class, and experience culturally immersive activities such as a cabaret and museums.
