The
post-academy courses are designed
primarily for students who are graduated from an academies
of art. They will be taught by highly qualified artists,
both Italian and foreign, with the spirit of a "Renaissance
Workshop" being recreated in order to lead the students
through their exploration of art. The period of residence
for these courses will be no less than a month.
The
intermediate and basic-level courses may be taken
by students who are specifically interested in painting
and sculpture but do not wish to follow a full course
of study at an academy. These courses provide the students
the opportunity to be closely supervised as they gain
in-depth knowledge of the subject matter. The sessions
are intensive, with the students testing their skills
through the practical application of techniques. At the
end of the courses there will be group critiques of the
work done, with a summary of the final write-ups and the
presentation of certificates of completed study.
The work sessions scheduled for performance en plein air
call for excursions to the Forest of Lamone and Lake Bolsena
, enchanting sites that will definitely provide inspiration.
Each course can accept a minimum of 5 students and a maximum
of 10. Students who wish to explore their subjects in
further depth and extend their stays for an additional
week should make reservations sufficiently far in advance.
The lessons will be held primarily in the morning, providing
those who wish to discover the surrounding area, so rich
in interest, with the chance to do so.
As a rule, the lessons will began at 9:30 am, following
breakfast.
Lunch will be served at 1:30 pm and dinner at 8:30 pm.
The art studios will remain open for those who wish to
continue working beyond the lesson times.
The
open courses organised at Borgo Rinascimento are aimed
at individuals interested in practicing the arts and either
obtaining fundamental instruction or further developing
previous experiences, as well as at young people who wish
to prepare for the admissions examinations to art academies.
All the teachers have lengthy experience in the field
of education, making them highly qualified to oversee
courses at various levels.
They will guide their students in working with and learning
about classical painting, figurative-fantastical painting
and informal and material painting through the study of
a variety of themes.
