Creativity Holiday
12-19 August 2023
If you are passionate about art and want to spend one week exploring different forms of art, this holiday is for you!
-
Designed to stimulate your innate creativity, this intensive course will introduce you to various art forms which include drawing, painting, printmaking and pottery. A truly exceptional experience which will engage your senses all day long.
- - Printmaking with and without a press: explore monotype printing using oil based inks to play with textures, and create artwork without using any drawing skill
A particularly stimulating media enables you to freely express yourself in ways you would have never thought of
- - If you feel you need some practice with drawing, you will be taught how to look at things in a different way, exploring negative space, simple shapes/forms and using perspective drawing to enhance your imagery
- - This course includes a pottery experience to create functional pieces for your table to enjoy and show off; all pieces will be fired in a kiln, then glazed on the following day
- - One day excursion to Rocca Calascio (a castle in the mountains) and Santo Stefano di Sessanio (one the best preserved medieval villages in Italy) where we will take advantage of the stunning views to draw and paint en plein air just like the impressionists used to do
- - Workshop in Creativity and Painting strategies for beginner and experienced painters
- - Emphasis is on having fun while learning about different possibilities in art
Please note that all classes are in English
