Description:
| Spend Summer Session in and around Florence, Italy, and experience the region’s art, architecture and sun-bathed countryside. Florence was at the very heart of the Renaissance and at the core of the conventions of contemporary representational painting, and produced artists such as da Vinci, Botticelli, Michelangelo, Giotto and Fra Angelica.
You’ll also have the chance to develop your own painting and/or drawing skills; studio classes will be conducted largely out of doors in various locations throughout Tuscany, and will include lectures and critiques. If you’re interested in studying issues in contemporary art as they relate to the qualities and conventions of the Renaissance, you’ll attend slide lectures and discussions, and visit Florence’s many museums and cultural sites so you can examine Renaissance masterworks firsthand.
Florence offers the opportunity to explore such cultural and artistic treasures such as the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore along with Giotto's Campanile, the Uffizi Gallery, the Pitti Palace and accompanying Boboli Gardens, the Ponte Vecchio, and the Medici Palace and Chapels. We'll take day-trips to nearby villages for drawing and painting activies, and there may be an excursion to Venice, as well. | |
