One of the duties of an art student is to make life full of art every day. How to spend a happy weekend in the boring life of studying abroad? This is a problem that has remained for thousands of years. Today, I will take my students to unlock the art resources in the regions of famous schools studying in Britain and the United States. According to the regions where British and American art schools are located, I will take them to see the art resources near the major schools, mainly art festivals and art exhibitions. Students studying in Britain and the United States will take their friends to visit their favorite activities!
Art resources in famous American schools:

American art study , we have to mention the east and west coasts of the United States! Students who like listening, speaking and singing should have a better understanding of the cultural differences between the east and west coasts of the United States. The east and west coasts are divided by the Mississippi River. Their relationship is like that of the north and south of China, with their own unique regional cultures.
The route of the American art holiday starts from the east and west coasts, and then refines some states of the United States, so that students can distinguish between the regions where art schools are located and the interesting places nearby.
Eastern United States
The east coast of the United States includes fast-paced cities such as New York, as well as relatively slow paced cities such as Boston and Washington. In this area where art and culture are developing in many directions, there are many powerful art activities and art spaces. From the flow of social contacts and people's living habits in the eastern United States, we can find that the artistic life in the eastern United States is exquisite and advanced. Here, students can get the unique human resources in the art circle, as well as the lofty art study lifestyle. Let's take a look at the interesting art festivals in the eastern states!
New York

Walking on the streets of New York, it seems that you have walked into the fashion week release site, and the searchlight vocabulary can not accurately describe the people living in New York.

Parsons Benefit is a charity set up by Parsons. Every year, many stars participate in raising learning funds for students. Parsons Benefit is not a simple fashion design report performance, it encourages students to have an innovative spirit. It is a tribute from scholars to the school and society, and thanks to those who help them. Therefore, we can see very excellent clothing design works, which are more like pieces of works of art that inherit the spirit. It is held in May every year.
Next, let's take a look at some international art exhibitions. First, The Armory Show mainly displays paintings and sculptures. Originally, only works of American artists were selected for exhibition, and later, works of European modern art schools were added. It is about the beginning of March every year.
