Art Studio
Spring Break in Madrid
The Studio Art Department’s annual Spring Break trip to Spain is designed to introduce the student to the art, culture, and history of Spain. Inspired by the richness of Spanish art and culture, students will have the opportunity every day to create art, reflect in their journals, and experience the energy that comes from participating in a foreign environment.
Trips will be taken to the major art museums in Madrid including: The Prado, The Museo Reina Sofia, and the Thyssen Collection. Students will see the works of major Spanish artists such as El Greco, Goya, Velazquez, Picasso, Miro, and Dali. Day trips are scheduled to the culturally and historically rich cities of Toledo and Segovia.
Through observation and experiences in Spain, and upon reflection and analysis of the trip upon return to Manhattanville, the student will create a portfolio of work in his/her chosen medium. Students may choose to work from many of the studio art concentrations appropriate to their preferences and the professors' areas of expertise.
