USGG 1001 - Art Appreciation in Ireland (0 Credit Hours)


Lecture Hours: 0 Lab Hours: 0
Through visual analysis, creation of artwork, and the study of world art from ancient to contemporary, students will learn visual language and culture as they travel through the cities of Waterford and Dublin, Ireland and visit historical sites on guided class fieldtrips. As students learn the language of visual communication, they will practice and apply this knowledge as they reflect on international art and artifacts they see, as well as create actual artworks synthesizing
their artistic, personal, and cultural sensibilities while immersed in Irish culture. This course will allow students to explore how art and life intersect and the differences and nuances between popular culture and “Art”. Included in this course are: hands-on art making projects, a predeparture reading assignment, discussion and critique of artworks, and firsthand exposure to contemporary international artist exhibitions in museums and contemporary galleries. Included
in our study abroad are visits to the Rock of Cashel, Trinity College in Dublin, Lismore castle and gardens, the Ring of Kerry, and the House of Waterford Crystal Design Studio in Waterford,Ireland.
