Art Education Abroad
Imagine having access to pure paint pigments found in the local marketplace in Morocco or India. Imagine spending time analyzing the architecture in Europe, inspiring your own meticulous and ornate compositions. Imagine meeting artists from all over the world attending the same international institution as you. Studying abroad can give art students an opportunity to replenish or forward creative inspirations and techniques.
Whether you want to focus your art on architecture, experimental, landscapes or still-life, studying abroad can instill a sense of independence and self-awareness that is critical to any budding artist. Keep on the lookout for artistic connections, you never know who might let you do an artist residency later on in life.
