Interested in both Performing Arts and Visual Arts? Study both in one weekend with this course! Through a mixture of lectures, workshops and interactive excursions, you'll learn about the history of the arts in the U.S. and the way arts and entertainment help create social change. You'll also view a performance and visit a local art museum. 

Get to know your au pair classmates as you work collaboratively to create new artwork! You'll engage in class discussions where you can bring your own unique perspectives to the conversation and learn about the importance of creativity and the creative process.
