Dreaming in Magyar: Summer Abroad in Hungary
May 19 - June 20, 2008

Sketch, sculpt and travel in Eastern Europe as we explore this exciting region of the world on the cultural highway between East and West. For four weeks your home base will be the International Ceramics Studio, a professional residency center located in Kecskemet, Hungary. Hungary has a long tradition of ceramic art, from folk art wares to the exquisite Art Nouveau luxury wares of the Zsolnay Company and the fine porcelains of Herend. There is also a strong history of using architectural ceramics on Hungarian buildings, as we will discover on walking tours of Kecskemet, Budapest and Pecs. Additionally, aqua waters of the Aegean Sea and pristine beaches await our arrival off the coast of Croatia, on the Island of Rab. This 4- day adventure will be an opportunity to be exposed to Croatia's art and architecture.

6 credit hours (Studio elective and/or Liberal Arts elective)
