My time in Spain with the CU Global Seminar: Art in Spain program was one of the best experiences I have ever had. As a non-art history nor art studio major, I was very nervous to join a group of art students in a country where I did not know the language (I studied French in school). However, as I dove into the material, I found myself developing a true passion for art and art history. Something about seeing the art work in person, being able to pick out individual brush strokes, makes learning about art that much more intriguing and meaningful. I also fell in love with the Spanish culture and their pace of life - breakfast at 10am, lunch at 2pm, dinner at 10pm, bars at 1am. I loved all of our cultural visits, especially the trip to La Alhambra in Granada and the trip to the Dali Theater Museum in Figueres. Now that i'm back in America, I truly cherish every second I had in Spain. Thank you to everyone on the trip (especially Frances!!) who made this an experience I will never forget.
