ARTH/ARTS 290: ART & ARCHITECTURE OF LONDON & PARIS
Dr. Schneider’s program at Framingham State University
We worked together with Dr. Erika Schneider to offer both studio art and art history students a chance to experience the aesthetic influences of London and Paris. While the content and destinations in this syllabus changes from program to program, they generally all revolve around art and architecture in historic, social and geographic contexts. Together, we found the most effective museums, destinations and teaching moments for her students based on their focus in either art history or studio art.
