PROGRAM SCHEDULE

Students first fly to London for an introductory week visiting museums and art galleries. London is one of the world's foremost financial, commercial, industrial and cultural centers. Its cultural institutions include the British Museum, National Gallery, Tate Modern, and the Victoria and Albert Museum. Among its landmarks are the remains of the city's Roman walls, Buckingham Palace, the House of Parliament, the Tower of London, Trafalgar Square and Westminster Abby.

The first nine days in London are followed by eleven days traveling in Scotland. While in Scotland students spend time in Glasgow, a center for the visual arts that ranks among the world's best, with a steady lineage of artists, architects and designers. The city is home to the unique Burrell Collection, the Glasgow Museum and Art Gallery, and the Huntarian Museum. The group also spends four days in the Scottish Highlands and the Isle of Skye, as well as three days in Edinburgh. Side trips to Stonehenge, Bath and other points of interest are offered.

The Philadelphia portion of the program takes place in the new state-of-the-art metals studio at The Tyler School of Art. Students continue to work with Professor Vickie Sedman to complete a piece inspired and designed during the initial three weeks of the program in England/Scotland.

 

FACULTY

During the program, faculty from the Tyler School of Art teach intensive workshops in a variety of media. The student's travel and research experiences during the program are utilized as source material for creation of finished work in the final two weeks of the program.

The course is taught by professor Vickie Sedman from the Tyler School of Art, Temple University and Sabina Fletcher, Tyler School of Art, Temple University/Gloucester County College.

 

ACCOMMODATIONS

While in London and during the excursion to the Scottish Highlands, participants stay in hotels. For the remainder of the program, in Edinburgh and Glasgow, accommodations are in university dormitories.

Students will be responsible for their own accommodations for the Philadelphia portion of the program.
