This three-week course will focus on the power of the visual. We will look at art through print and digital reproduction, and face to face. We will spend 5 days in New York City, looking at art and experiencing the city that is home to much significant art of the twentieth century. Students may choose to write, make a piece of art, or document in some way the experience of looking at art.
