Overall, this study abroad experience has been informative and has expanded my art practice.
The painting workshop early in the term with the course leader provided me with an opportunity to talk and connect with other students.I also loved the freedom in the workshop and how exploratory it was.
Certain materials being provided for free in the different workshops and other costs covered such as metal and wood cutting are greatly appreciated. Back home, these things are charged for.
One of the best things is that there is more freedom at AUB to explore your practice, work autonomously, and be encouraged to try new things in new ways with less focus on outcome and more focus on process and discovery is amazing.
The printmaking and binding workshop were my favorite.
If you are a creative person or an artist, AUB is a worthy destination for you!
What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
Studio space felt smaller in comparison to the one we have in Korea, but I spent some great time there, I loved the opportunity to be able to make a mess, spill, drip, and pour!
