Course Name: ARTS 45089/ 55089  International Experience: Studio Art - Pastel Drawing: Color and Form

Description: Students will be introduced to pastel and basic color theory while visiting one of the finest collections of pastel drawings in the world at the Musée d’Orsay. Through daily practice, students will draw from observation at the same gardens, cathedrals and landscapes frequented by some of the greatest pastel artists working in Paris during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Field trips to the historic Jardin du Luxembourg, Tuileries Garden, and Giverny Garden, where Claude Monet worked, as well as significant architectural landmarks in Paris will serve as locations to create drawings from observation. In addition, trips to the Centre Pompidou, which houses the largest modern and contemporary art collection in Europe, the Fondation Louis Vuitton, a unique collection of 20th century works and contemporary exhibitions, and the Musée du Quai Branly – Jacques Chirac, a vast collection of indigenous art and cultures of Africa, Asia, Oceania, and the Americas, will expose students to the history of colonial expansion, how indigenous cultures transformed the use of color and form by 20th century artists, and how this legacy informs contemporary art into the 21st century. Readings related to the historical development of art at the turn of the 20th century to the present will be discussed.

Students will refer to their journals, sketchbooks, pastel studies and photographs created during field trips to build a portfolio of small to mid-size pastel drawings, using traditional and contemporary approaches to color and form. Students may also explore mixed media by incorporating with pastel an underpainting of water based gouache, graphite and collage material.

Pastel: Located at the edge of drawing and painting, and applied on paper, pastel is a mixture of pure pigment powder, a mineral filler and a binder that solidifies the whole into a solid and compact stick or into a wood cased pencil. It allows artists to work directly with color, much faster than oil paint, and without any drying time. Students will visit La Maison du Pastel, the oldest pastel manufacturer in the world. Their line of Roché pastels are made entirely by hand with over 1800 rich and luminous colors.

Course Name: HM 33031 Food, Wine and Beverage Pairing

Description: This course provides students with knowledge of the sensory relationship of Food, Wine, Beer and Spirits, and the important role this process has on Hospitality Operations. Course topics will include developing an understanding of wine, beer and food pairing as a hierarchical process, Old and New World traditions, and traditional and non-traditional gastronomic pairings. Menu development and cooking play an important role in this class.  Food and Beverage are the two most importance facets of restaurant operations.  Furthermore, the growth and interest in this area has been suggested as a reaction to the “homogenizing influence of globalization” with customers seeking unique eating and drinking experiences. To respond to these trends, hospitality firms as well as hospitality training and education need to move beyond basic practical courses or training focusing solely on business issues to training that reflects the growing interest in unique experiences by the hospitality industry.
