Professor of art leads inaugural study abroad program in Scotland
July 31, 2018
Throughout the month of July, associate professor of art Joseph D’Uva served as the head guide of the Department of Art’s inaugural study abroad program in Glasgow, Scotland.
Over the course of the month, students worked under D’Uva’s instruction at the Glasgow Print Studio, an internationally acclaimed studio facility and gallery located in the heart of Glasgow’s City Centre. Students created their artwork alongside some of Great Britain’s most prominent artists and master printers and studied various techniques in intaglio, relief printing, screen printing, and drawing.
D’Uva also led weekly class excursions throughout the region, taking his students to exhibitions, museums, and significant landmarks, including Stirling Castle, the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Glasgow Cathedral, the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, and numerous sites that border Loch Lomond, the Scottish Highlands.
This trip is the first in a summer study abroad initiative that the Department of Art hopes to conduct biennially to expose its students to the art, culture, history, and landscape of Scotland.
