Art History & Architecture
Working with a well-known Kathmandu-based architect, students can learn about the rich art history of Nepal. Besides working at the architect’s studio working on architectural drafts, they can make site visits to the venues the architect is working at, visits to local craftspeople including wood carvers, bronze and copper casters, and silversmiths.
 

 

“Living with Tsering La and Wang La has been an amazing experience. They have made me part of their family as I have lived here for years making me feel very comfortable and open to the experience. The grandfather in the family has been a great influence given his painting expertise and how spiritually driven he is. Even though he speaks neither English nor Nepali we were able to form a relationship showing the warm and welcoming spirit of the family. In all I am leaving with a very warm feeling in my heart and with relationships that I’m sure will last a lifetime.”
