    Description

    The Venice Studio Arts Program offers studio art coursework in addition to art history and Italian language studies in a city whose museums, walkways, and canals form a truly unique classroom. BU in Venice is based on interaction with the Italian community of students, teachers, and artists as well as working with Boston University professors, enhanced by a direct tandem exchange program with local students from the Academy of Fine Arts. Rigorous studio and elective courses provide focused study in such mediums as painting, drawing and sculpture.
