■Fresco Course
The fresco technique refers to the method used for painting murals. It involves applying pigments mixed with water onto fresh (not fully dried) plaster; as the wall dries, the paint becomes part of the wall and can endure for a long time. This technique was widely used in Italian mural painting. You will learn the fresco method, including basics such as techniques for painting after the plaster has dried and techniques for painting on partially dried plaster.
| * Fresco technique - Painting with water-based pigments on fresh lime plaster, where the pigments soak into the wet plaster and set upon drying. This technique has the advantage of producing long-lasting paintings. |

The artist who teaches painting at the institution where the project takes place has taught painting, drawing, sculpture, and watercolor at various schools in the Florence area for over 20 years. They have taught students of all ages, from young children to university level, accumulating know-how and experience as a teacher. They also organize solo exhibitions and collaborative art shows with other artists in Italy and abroad. Based on the extensive artistic knowledge gained through many years of experience and exhibition work, they do their best to help students develop a theoretical understanding and an artistic sense of visual arts.
A word from the local institution representative
To enjoy means opening the world of art.
Art would not exist without joy and pleasure.
An artist is someone who plays like a child, creates their own rules, and builds a castle of personal wishes and hopes.
Now create your own horizon. Also, express yourself in every possible way.
We strive to help you develop your own artistic world by teaching art.
This is both our method and our way of life.
Because learning technical skills is very important for expressing art,We want to share with you our extensive expertise in sculpture, painting, drawing, coloring, mosaic, and fresco techniques.
But remember: the most important thing is to call forth the child within you and keep them with you throughout the classes!
These are the things I believe.
