Art in Practice Summer Course in Prague I

Field trips with guided tours to galleries, exhibits and other related cultural events in the city of Prague will be an integral component of the course. There will be a combination of temporary and permanent exhibition visits depending on the city’s cultural program. This activity will be combined with short preparatory lectures and discussions afterwards. Students will also have opportunities to meet local artists and curators on site, as much as possible, and especially determined by the special interests of the students.

For complimentary activity to the site visits and intellectual stimulation, accordingly, as required work for the course, students will make creative works done in workshops for selective areas, including drawing, painting, photographs, or ceramics – again determined by interest of the students in the group. Ideally, one week will be devoted to exploring the art world with daily site visits and one week for creative pursuits, inspired by the visits in Prague.
