Florence, anyone?

Cinema & Photography is once again offering its amazing student trip to Italy, where students will pursue their photographic work in the rich cultural environment of Florence and central Italy. Conducted over four weeks, the class focuses on both spontaneous and deliberate image-making approaches, accommodating a wide range of students' photographic interests and emphases.

Included in the cost of the course is a three-day trip to Venice. Additional excursions include walking art history tours of Florence and Siena. During their time in Italy, many students elect to take weekend trips to such destinations as Rome, Pisa, and San Gimignano.

The course is taught at the facilities of the Santa Reparata International School of Art, whose up-to-date darkrooms and computer facilities are located within the historic city center. Housing is within easy walking distance of the school.

The prerequisite for Photo Italy is Introduction to Photography, or demonstrated competence in the area of black and white darkroom skills.
