UT Art Education Alfombras Project is a collaboration between graduate students in art education and The Mesoamerica Center of the University of Texas at Austin. Students travel to Antigua, Guatemala to experience a once in a lifetime opportunity of cultural immersion. The graduate students will spend 10 days in Antigua during the Holy Week celebration engage in lectures, field trips and the ancient tradition of "alfombra" making.

My "Semana Santa moment" didn't actually have anything to do with Holy Week at all. The moment when the emotion of the whole week hit me was when we were riding on the boat on Lake Atitlan. Antigua is a beautiful city but I definitely was not expecting to see such an incredibly breathtaking landscape when we visited Lake Atitlan on Saturday. It was such a beautiful sunny day, the water was glassy, there were mountains and volcanoes surrounding us, and I was in the company of great people. Sitting on the boat and taking all of those separate things completed my trip perfectly. I had been filled by religious spirituality as well as emotions and positive energy by so many separate pieces coming together so well throughout the entire week.
