Welcome to the FYS in NYC Blog Spot!
Throughout the fall semester of 2011, Moravian College students enrolled in the first-year seminars "The Great Museums of New York" and "Broadway and Beyond: NYC Plays, Players, and Playwrights" will reflect here on what they've learned as they have traveled throughout New York City. Log in here to read their posts and take a look at their pictures and digital video clips as they explore Museum Mile, the Great White Way, Ellis Island, and the outer reaches of Brooklyn--for starters. Learn more about this season's plays, musicals, and museum exhibits as FYS students make posts from all over New York City.

I am excited to be teaching First Year Seminar: Exploring the Great Museums of New York at Moravian College in Bethlehem, PA. Students will travel to world-famous museums in New York City to study special exhibitions and permanent collections. Working collaboratively, students will respond to works of art in active, hands-on ways, such as through sketching, journal-keeping, role-playing, story-telling, and using digital platforms like applications for mobile devices and museum web sites. Students will sharpen observation skills to construct their own personal meanings and to see the global significance of art. On select Saturdays, students will also attend related theatrical productions to broaden their understanding of the interdisciplinary nature of the visual and performing arts. I can't wait to begin!
