MONTHLY COURSES

In addition to the academic programs which last four semesters and to the one year master's courses the school offers, throughout the year, monthly courses and summer courses dedicated to those students who, because of study, professional or family reasons cannot attend the regular courses, offering them a stimulating cultural and professional experience. The monthly courses and the workshops have been created in such a way that each student can study or improve his or her abilities in some area of personal interest.

Studio Art: Drawing and Painting

The artistic subjects, such as drawing and painting, are proposed by the Accademia Italiana both as academic courses (which can be attended for one or more semesters) as well as short courses that can be attended for one or more months, or as a summer course.The monthly courses can be attended for 40 hours per month (standard course) or 80 hours per month (intensive course). These courses are held in the spacious art studio situated just a few steps away from the headquarters of the Accademia in the area that houses the laboratories for artistic and artisan work typical of the Florentine world. The instructors follow each student on an individual level, guiding them from their basic knowledge and abilities, working on the personal capacities to develop the expressive possibilities of each student.Various subjects and techniques are covered, among them nude drawing, life drawing, painting techniques, composition of various materials, art history and theory of art. The course is completed with seminars and guided visits of museums and exhibitions.
The students are often invited to participate in exhibitions and creative events with their works.
