Hellenic International Studies in the Arts (HISA)

Through critique and hands-on problem solving, courses encourage critical thinking, imagination, creativity, and intellectual freedom. Technical, aesthetic, and conceptual issues span the breadth of historical and contemporary art practices. Excursions to archeological sites, museums, and gallery exhibitions are intended to complement intellectual and creative discourse in class. A cross-section of local and internationally recognized photographers, painters, media artists, and informed critics provides students with rich resources for personal growth. Over the course of the semester, students are asked to recognize an emerging line of personal identity in their creative projects, culminating in a showcase of their work open to the island community at HISA's end-of-semester art exhibition.
