Venice, one of the most remarkable urban constructions ever built. For those interested in creative writing, focus on the practice of taking field notes and ekphrasis while visiting the masterpieces of the “city married to the sea.” For those interested in the visual arts, sketch and photograph “La Serenissima” both during the day and at night.
Many of the works of the great Venetian masters can still be seen in situ, allowing students to understand the interconnectedness of life and art within Venetian society. Art History lectures and prompts on ekphrastic
writing in front of selected works and discussions about the materials and techniques used for their production are supplemented by writing and drawing sessions at chosen locations.
