In this issue, Arts takes a different approach. We invite you to become an active participant in the Arts scene. How? By introducing you to a wonderful art school in the heart of Florence, Italy. Sign up for art classes in the city that sparked the arts movement during the Renaissance and is still home to the most Renaissance art in the world.
At the Accademia del Giglio art classes are held in English and Italian in their fully equipped studio, located in the heart of Florence, a few steps from the Duomo and the Uffizi Gallery. Some lessons may also take place outdoors, in the squares and streets of the city.
Most of the courses run on weekdays in the afternoon, but intensive workshops and seminars may also be held in the morning or over the weekends. The complete course in Art is divided into 9 units (from unit A to unit I) and lasts 9 months. Students are however welcome to attend specific parts of the course (minimum 1 week). Courses normally start on any Monday.
Instructors evaluate the students’ skills at the beginning of each unit and help them to establish their objectives. Each unit lasts 4 weeks, for a total of 56 hours, inclusive of 8 hours of living models. All teachers are highly qualified and experts in various disciplines and techniques such as classical drawing, oil painting, watercolor, sculpture with clay and fresco.
First units introduce foundation studies in drawing and painting techniques while the following units aim at developing and improving students’ artistic skills. In the end, students will have acquired the basic knowledge required for making their personal portfolios and will concentrate on studying one specific technique.
The lessons are integrated with conversations on art history. To ensure the highest quality of tuition, classes are restricted to ten students per group.
So, walk the same streets that Michelangelo and Davinci traveled as you take your own personal journey in the arts.
