Art in Life: Waterford Ireland

Waterford Program Faculty and Students at Enniscorthy

In the summer of 2013, I was part of European Council's Ireland program. We spent 5 weeks in Waterford, Ireland.
I taught a basic art appreciation course called Art in Life. As part of the course, my students were required to create and maintain blogs that documented their time in Ireland.
