"I count my two visits to the Burren College of Art among
the highlights of my 30 year teaching career." |
Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design, June 2006 "My visit, and that of the students, was a very powerful experience. The location allows artists to slow down and contemplate the work they produce. The landscape and culture provides inspiration for visual work. Overall this was an important experience for all those involved." Colin Matthes, MIAD, June 2006 Group Study AbroadOne Month Group Study AbroadHome faculty accompany participating groups, enabling students to continue their home study schedules in a new and stimulating environment. Generally two faculty members accompany a group providing two courses for 6 credits over the four-week period. During the summer period supplemental courses taught by our Burren College of Art faculty can be available by arrangement, usually in module format for a number of weekly contact hours to suit specific group needs. Possible subjects include:
Credit is offered by the home college. A guided tour of the Burren, a storytelling session in Newtown Castle and set dancing in the barn at Kilfenora are organised by the college to initiate students into the social and cultural life of the area. Visits to the theatre and local cultural events can be included in the programme also. Weekend tours to Dublin, Galway, the Aran Islands, Kerry and other destinations in Ireland can also be arranged on request.
