While in Berlin, the group visited famous sites and museums, including the Charlottenburg Palace, Museum Island, and the Jewish Museum, and took a tour of the street art of Berlin. Outside Berlin, the students took trips to visit Dresden, a city that was heavily bombed during World War II and was previously known as the Jewel Box for its Baroque and Rococo city center, and Potsdam, the capital of the German federal state of Brandenburg that is site of several palaces. Larsen, who has previously lived in Berlin, said it was a memorable experience to revisit some of her favorite spots in Berlin with her students. 鈥淚t was exciting to go back to these places that I know and love and to see them through new eyes and to see my students be awed by this architecture and art,鈥� Larsen said. 鈥淚t was an exceptional group of students who were super engaged. This trip opened the world for the students and empowered them.鈥� In the upper right photo, the study abroad students visit the roof of the Reichstag building, home of the German parliament.

• 听听听听听惭颈濒濒别谤, “War on the Streets: Social and Political Commentary in Street Art of the Middle East”

The symposium was born through friendship and an awareness that undergraduate students in the state of Arkansas did not have an opportunity to present their research 鈥� an important experience for future art historians. Floyd Martin, of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, and Gayle Seymour, of the University of Central Arkansas, are the symposium founders and visionaries. The 30-year friends saw a need and established the Arkansas College Art History Symposium in 1991. The symposium experience echoes the expectations given to professional historians. Students have the opportunity to formally present their work, network with students in the state with similar interests and give greater attention to the discipline. The symposium also provides a unique opportunity for art history faculty from colleges and universities across the state to interact. The symposium featured 12 students who were selected based on proposals submitted earlier in the year. Selected students delivered 20-minute illustrated presentations on their areas of research. “For many students, giving a 20-minute presentation is challenging and requires a lot of preparation,” Martin said. “Once the event occurs, there is a celebratory atmosphere, as students see their hard work affirmed by students and faculty.”]]>
