This winter I will be taking The Art and Architecture of Morocco Course.
I'm looking forward to this for many reasons.
I've been out of school for about six months and now I'll be able to take part in an art history course with some of my good friends, while visiting different cities in Morocco!
On December 27th I will be departing Boston to Paris and then to Casablanca, where the trip begins.
We will be studying textiles, decorative arts as well as painting and sculpture. The course examines the mixture of African and Islamic influences in desert Kasbahs, Mosques, Palaces and Gardens of the imperial city of Marrakesh.
4 days in Marrakesh
2 days in Anemiter
2 days in Agdz
1 day in M'hamid
3 days in the Sahara Desert
1 final day in Marrakesh
1 final day in Casablanca

Gosh this sounds absolutely amazing, you are so lucky. I went to Marrakech for a couple of days in the summer and adored it. I wrote a little something about it here; http://wandering-the-dream-space.blogspot.com/2010/11/beauty-of-lettering.html, but I'm hoping to write more. You definitely must visit Yves Saint Laurent's museum and garden.
