Course description

This is a two-credit course designed to add engagement and experience to DEA 4224, a seminar/workshop class that prepares students to participate in a global educational experience. During the stay in Cuba, we will explore its visual culture through its art, architecture, and design by visiting buildings, studios, museums, and galleries and meeting with architects, artists, designers, and curators. Student projects will include a photo essay and reflective journal.
