Italy
has been inspiring Italian artists for centuries.
So
it's not too surprising that creative people from around
the world - and from all walks of life - are drawn to the
beauty of the Italian countryside, to either hone their
skills or to learn new ones from native artists.
An
art workshop in Italy is filled with unexpected pleasures.
Students
discover that are not only able to capture Italy on canvas,
but in lasting sensory images that last a lifetime —
in the revery of blending oil paints or mixing watercolors
to recreate the bright yellows of a Tuscan
landscape.
Since
Italy is also the home of the famous works in marble by
the likes of Michelangelo,
sculptors will also find plenty of opportunities to learn
both the historical and technical aspects of Italian stone
sculpture and carving from native masters.
Practical
travel tips
Most
art workshops in Tuscany usually arrange for a group to
meet in a major city, and then either stay in town to take
in both classical works & the modern art scene, or travel
through the countryside experiencing all that nature has
to offer in the way of inspiration.
Before
you go, make sure you ask your art workshop tour company
what art materials will be supplied, what kind of meals
or accommodations will be provided, or about any other related
activities provided in the package.
Many
art workshops offer classes geared to all levels, although
you may also want to inquire what kind of experience is
expected. For novices, most organizers will only require
that you mess around and have fun!
Alternatively,
advanced students may want to inquire if college credits
can be arranged for your real-life learning experience in
Italy.
