QUEENS COLLEGE EDUCATION ABROAD PROGRAMS • SUMMER 2017

Art & Architecture in Florence & Tuscany This course will explore the principal architects and artists, monu-ments, and themes from the 15th and 16th centuries in Italian art and architecture. Emphasis will be on Renaissance architecture in Florence, but will also include architectural developments in other Italian towns.

Florence Sketchbook This course will take full advantage of the student’s unique experiences living and studying in the city of Florence. With on-site inspiration channeled into artistic creativity, students will draw on location at sites of historical significance and visual interest, ranging from architectural masterpieces, landscape vistas, and medieval streets to formal gardens, street markets, and Renaissance fountains.

Food, Culture & Society in Italy This course is targeted toward students with an interest in Italian food traditions, culture, and society—what is generally defined as “made in Italy” culture and style in post-war Italy.

Health and Fitness in the MediterraneanStudies have shown that the Mediterranean diet has many health benefits, especially when combined with exercise. This course includes lectures on various forms of physical and lifestyle activities and an overview of their respective benefits. Cooking labs, wine tastings, and physical activity are integral components of the course and will result in the creation of a customized exercise and nutri-tional program by the student.

International MarketingThis course expands on the main principles of marketing by explor-ing the strategic implications of marketing in different countries and cultures; identifying specific marketing techniques and modifications necessary to accommodate cultural differences. Topics include: global marketing, marketing planning, segmentation, culture and business customs, political and legal factors and restraints, econom-ical and technological development and the international monetary system.

Street PhotographyThis course considers how street photographers strive to capture the life and culture of city streets, searching for what Henri Cartier-Bresson, one of the most famous street photographers of all time, termed the “Decisive Moment.” For street photography, many photographers traditionally choose to work in black and white, focusing the viewer’s attention on the subject by eliminating the distraction of color. This course will cover both black and white and color practices, as well as the use of wide-angle and long-focal-length lenses.
