The fact that we got to experience a variety of cities in Italy was very cool. I feel that I was able to experience more of the culture rather than just visiting the most touristy spots. Each day was filled with awesome experiences and great opportunities to learn, whether we were exploring a museum or viewing the amazing architecture and history around us.

Being thrown into a new culture and studying while doing so will open up the mind, and have a drastic effect on the way one will think. That is exactly what happened and my conceptual thinking has dramatically changed in my artwork since. I would recommend traveling anywhere to have an experience as such. If it is offered again with Professor Fitzgerald, I would highly recommend it, considering you will have the opportunity to conceptualize the thinking of how a simplistic mark can change an entire image.

Seeing art that I learned about in Art History classes and then learning how to better create art simultaneously, and also experiencing design in a different country just before entering my last senior thesis class/semester.
