Students will spend two days in Mexico City where they will visit its museums and parks, including the Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera Studios. Oaxaca, located 287 miles south of Mexico City, is one of the world’s great meccas of art and printmaking. Students will learn first hand what it means to live and create art in one of world’s most unique regions - one renowned worldwide for its contemporary arts and crafts, its culinary triumphs, its indigenous cultural diversity, its ancient history, its year-round perfect weather, and its numerous glorious festivals.

The course fulfills School of Art BFA degree requirements and it provides transfer credit to non-UA students.  During this three week course, students will visit museums, archaeological sites, and ecological wonders, and they will also be hosted for visits to the studios of some of the region’s major contemporary artists. This short Pre-Session Program will give students a study abroad experience that will never be forgotten.
