Why
pursue the B.A. in Fine Arts: Studio Art?
As the birthplace of modern humanism, naturalistic arts and scientific
inquiry, Florence was the cradle of Renaissance civilization -
the place where Dante, Brunelleschi, Botticelli, and Leonardo da
Vinci
forever changed the way we see the world. Florence is the
ideal destination for those interested in studying studio art;
the
degree program offers unparalleled access to museums, festivals,
and artists in the richest art environment in Europe. The B.A.
in Fine Arts with a concentration in Studio Art is a four-year
program designed to combine a broad-based training in the visual
arts with a traditional liberal arts education. After foundation
training, each student specializes in one of several tracks: digital
media, drawing, graphic design, painting, photography, printmaking,
sculpture, or restoration.
Why
study Studio Art at Marist-LdM?
Art programs at Marist-LdM stimulate and develop the potential
individual creativity of students, providing them not only with
the technical skills but also the conceptual insights necessary
for the development of artistic talent. Marist-LdM gives its students
the tools necessary for entering the competitive labor market.
Art Restoration courses have restored paintings and sculptures
by some of the greatest artistic masters of the Renaissance like
Donatello and Michelangelo. Sculpture students spend time living
and working in Carrara learning traditional techniques. Photography
students develop their visual skills through immersion in the exquisite
beauties of the Tuscan countryside. Additionally, LdM provides
its students with library and computing facilities, a wide range
of student clubs and societies, and organized cultural events,
field trips and site visits.
