Student Blogs!

As an arts management student in her junior year,
Julia Chadwick was incredibly fortunate to find
an institute in France that offered courses
in art history and business. Throughout the semester,

Julia will be posting photographs with brief captions

as a visual diary of her surroundings, both local to her host city

Aix-en-Provence and when traveling throughout Europe.

Sessa Englund is studying painting and graphic design at Valand Konstskola in Gothenburg Sweden. She chose to study a semesterabroad in Sweden partly because of her Swedish heritage and partly to peruse her interest in Swedish design.

She hopes to gain a better understanding about the esthetic

& regional artistic expression & the international art community.
During her time in Gothenburg Sessa will keep a blog
focusing mainly on her art and school work.
She will also blog any museum and gallery visits,
as well as any interesting cultural events in Gothenburg.

Rebecca Lomuto is a junior photography major
studying at SACI Florence for the Fall 2011 semester.

one may consider this my personal diary
and perhaps use these writings as a window
into the everyday like of a foreign student abroad.
