Painting and Drawing in Italy

3 units

Experience working on-location in Florence and the surrounding region. Day trips to places such as Lucca, Settignano, Siena, Pisa and San Gimignano will allow students to develop a series of paintings and drawings based on subjects unique to Italy while discovering their own individual approach. Students will explore light-filled, natural landscapes/topographies as well as dense, urban environments overflowing with Renaissance art and architecture. Emphasis will be on transportable media such as watercolor. Students provide their own art supplies.
