Bread and circuses

Studying in another country has become a desired part of academia. Being immersed in another culture while delving deeper into one's intended major of study provides learning experiences that far surpass the classroom. Honoring the value of study abroad programs within intended college degrees, the Ball State University Art Department hosts a field study throughout Italy every other year. The program focuses on exploring various art media such as watercolor and drawing, while exposing students to some of the most influential works of art throughout history. To capture the essence of how this adventure altered our perceptions as artists, students, and simply humans, I created a booklet of our trip. Bread and Circuses documents the work we created during and after the travel program as well as each student's reflection of this life changing opportunity.Honors CollegeThesis (B.?.
