Mia Smith traveled to Spain this summer with fellow Spanish students. She saw the beautiful NYC-like horizons of Madrid, the castle-surrounding, lush green pastures of Segovia, and the red-roofed homes in Vilaboa. She learned how to cook Spanish dishes, how to wear medieval armor, and learned about some of the oldest artwork in the world
Oxbow forced me to create, and by creating, I established foundation for my thought.
— Jamie Roux, Spring 2003
I learned to drop all previous assumptions I had about people because I had never met anyone like the other students at Oxbow. For the first time, my peers and their insightful thinking inspired me. For example, during the ‘Einstein’s Dreams’ presentations, I kept looking around the room thinking, I can’t believe all of these students are talking the way I think.
— Sara DeLong, Spring 2010
At Oxbow, the eye and the hand are inseparable from the mind and because their peers are also artists, students adopt fresh attitudes toward their work.
