Arts in Action

The course is an introduction to the visual arts and art professions in the context of French and francophone arts and cultural institutions. Students will experience arts through class discussions of artistic production and a familiarization with art history and art criticism in French, presentations, workshops, discussions with art professionals, guest lectures, and visits to art museums and galleries. Students who take the class can apply for paid internships in an art institution in the spring following the class. In these internships, students will use some of the French language skills they have acquired in class.
