Sketchbooks from the FINE 293/393 trip to England.
Seeing art ‘in the real’ and experiencing other places and cultures fundamentally enriches a student's academic experience in both studio and visual culture. The Fine Arts department and the Faculty of Arts offer a number of study abroad opportunities. Contact Brett Roberts for current offerings.
Joan Coutu (Fine Arts) and James Skidmore (Germanic and Slavic Studies) organized a field course to Berlin, February 16-26, 2017.
Students registered in either FINE 293/393 or GER 298. No knowledge of German was required for this course. The course consisted of on-campus classes and a 10-day trip to Berlin where we explored the city’s architecture, museums, historical sites, parks, artists’ studios, cuisine, and other attractions. We also took two day-trips to Dessau (to see the Bauhaus) and Dresden.
In addition to regular course tuition, students also paid a fee ($2595) that covered the cost of airfare, accommodation (a centrally located hotel in Berlin), breakfasts, transfers to and from the Berlin airport, a public transit pass for Berlin and a museum pass for Berlin.
The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
