"Paris/Pont-Aven: The City and the Country"

 

The Pont-Aven School of Contemporary Art (PASCA) and The American University of Paris (AUP) offer a joint summer program in the arts, combining studio opportunities at Pont-Aven with French Language in Paris.

 

The first two weeks are spent at AUP, where students can enroll in a French Immersion course and earn up to five credits. There will then be a two week break between sessions, when students are encouraged to explore more of France or Europe before continuing the joint program for four additional weeks.

 

The studio art portion of the program takes place in Pont-Aven, Brittany, renowned as an international artists’ colony for the past 130 years. Paul Gauguin was one of its many famous artists-in-residence. With small classes, new facilities, teachers from major US art schools and university art departments, the studio courses at PASCA are focused and intense and explore experimental approaches to art. Credit is granted by the Rhode Island School of Design.

Students wishing to master Spanish and earn academic credit can join the College for International Studies in Madrid for Spanish Immersion. Elementary, intermediate and advanced-level language courses will be offered in two five-week sessions. Supplementing the CIS program is the Cultural Introduction to Spain (taught in English) that will make students aware of the unity and diversity of the country and the many facets of its culture. The advanced level also includes a Spanish Culture and Civilization component (taught in Spanish) that will help students understand the complex reality of the present based on Spain’s complicated past. Numerous outings, walking tours, and guided visits of churches, synagogues, museums, palaces and other significant sites in Madrid will compliment the academics in each session.

 

CIS is located in the heart of the Madrid in a pleasant residential section of the city with easy access to public transportation. Housing in student apartments shared with students from other programs is included but other housing options may be available.
