Join SVA faculty member Kayla Gibbons on Tuesday, March 14 at 6:30 pm via zoom to learn about earning 3 Art History credits on our new Arizona destination program! To attend, please register for the Zoom link here.

Picturing Arizona examines a pictorial narrative rich in gold, silver, and scenic grandeur alongside the human history of present-day Arizona, which began over 10,000 years ago. Wet-plate photography came of age with the settlement of the American West, the first region of North America that became known to the rest of the world through photographs.

This 12-day road trip spans a vast geologic time scale and examines the persistence of human invention against an unforgiving landscape and centuries of displacement. We’ll visit a 150-room ancestral pueblo built around 1125 CE, explore the experimental architecture of Arcosanti, and trek the Grand Canyon. In addition to daily excursions, the course includes a hands-on workshop with a visiting artist.
