MIAD PARIS BLOG INTRODUCTION

WELCOME TO MIAD STUDY ABROAD PROGRAM 2013

 

PARIS BLOG: Paris Cultural Capital of the World

We hope that each of our students is feeling the energy and excitement that we are as we make the final preparations for Paris. We also wanted to share, for those who are not traveling with us, the itinerary and readings so that you too might be able to take part in the trip, perhaps as a distant Flanneur. The students will be posting regularly to the blog regarding their individual explorations in conjunction with each day's experience.
 
The next post is our course calendar with the readings that challenge our students to understand and interpret the topic of Paris: Cultural Capital of the World. The thought-provoking questions, extensive dialogue, and visual examples and diagrams within their journals and in this blog will create a rich environment that will be further informed and expanded upon as we explore Paris daily and will be shared at the end of the summer in an exhibition at MIAD.  During our study abroad, each student will see unique connections between the ideas, objects, language, history, culture, and place, which we have challenged them to investigate. These will be our foundation as we further examine our topic and location. 

Remember the words of Le Corbusier, in After Cubism, "Art is Above All a Matter of Conception."
 
Nous vous souhaitons un bon voyage et nous vous verrons à Paris.
