Summer 2019 Participant
Being able to go abroad with the intention of drawing and documenting everything around me was incredible. Taking that purpose and applying it to my sketchbook enriched my experience and made me more observant of my surroundings overall. I was appreciative that this was the goal because I felt I got way more out of it than if I just traveled there on my own.

Justin Michael Zielke, Summer 2012 Participant
My group was fortunate enough to go with Professor Barry Fitzgerald and learn the basics of drawing from life as it is still or moving. The difficult task was dissected into an outlined course of assignments enabling you to visually "see" before you draw, and then concentrating on objective mark making that enables a seen to be created.

Delaney Jane Traynor, Summer 2017 Participant
Choosing a favorite part of this program is probably impossible. The whole trip was 18 days of favorite parts! I really felt like I bonded well with everyone, experienced everything I had wanted, and got to learn a lot about myself as an artist.
