WELCOME

Welcome to the Urban Culture course at Avila University created by Susan Lawlor and Dotty Hamilton.  We travel with our students to great cities to explore art museums, engage with the architecture, study the local film and music venues, and experience the ethnic enclaves as a way to learn about the culture of urban spaces and the interaction of art and environment.  It's a fun, intense learning environment.

Museum of Contemporary Art

At MCA enjoying the tour
Started the morning with a museum tour of Art is a Way of Thinking show at MCA.  Great variety of interesting work and conversation about what it meant.

    Perfect introduction to the art part of the trip. The tour guide was amazing. Her free browsing then reflection format started me thinking critically about art and in turn broadened my schema and heightened my appreciation.
