Paris Modernism 2007 GWU

The George Washington University----Paris France: Modernism Summer 2007Professor Mary Buckley; GTA Meghan Shea
Using the museums and sites of Paris as resources, Paris: Modernism and the Arts, Then and Now offers a multi-disciplinary view of the aesthetic movements that changed the course of art and thought in Europe and elsewhere during the first half of the 20th century. The framework of the artistic past will guide students as they design a photographic and literary journal of their experience. Students explore and document the contemporary artistic scene in theatre, dance, music, and the fine arts traditions of 'modern' Paris, as they add their own voice to this historical perspective.
