Florence is not only the city of the Renaissance, but it is also a dynamic center for contemporary art. Our Painting with Contemporary Techniques course aims to introduce students to the use of the new languages of contemporary art through the use of a modern medium like acrylic paint, perfect for painting flat, solid color fields. It’s not easy to create detailed shading with acrylics because it’s a type of paint that dries very quickly, so this technique is used primarily to create works with a synthetic or abstract style, where color takes center stage. It’s also possible to experiment with textures using painting knives instead of brushes or gesso as a base.
Courses can be started every week and classes are held in the afternoon. The Intensive course is held Monday to Friday from 3pm to 7pm, while the schedule for the Basic and Semi-intensive courses varies for every student and will be communicated on the week before the starting of the course.
This course is available in three types:
-Basic (6 hours per week)
-Semi-intensive (10 hours per week)
-Intensive (20 hours per week)
