Life Drawing Courses

Life Drawing Courses: The Life Drawing Course has a variable duration and can be combined with our Art course.

Classes normally take place on Tuesdays, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m..

Students can join the course every Tuesday.

In order to insure the highest quality of tuition, the number of students will not exceed 7 per group.

The programme

This course deals with visual understanding by direct observation of the human body and it includes the acquisition of basic notions of anatomy as well as the methodology used to draw bodies and faces.

Students will practice with the main drawing tools, i.e. graphite, charcoal, sanguine, pen-and-ink, pastel crayon.

No specific artistic skills or background are required.

On every session students will draw from either female or male models posing in the nude.

Quick poses will aim at teaching the sketch technique while longer poses will intend to develop the study of anatomy and of shades as well as the student’s observation abilities.

At the end of every semester an Art exhibition will be organized for all the students who have attended the entire course.

Credits & Certificates

The Accademia del Giglio recommends that students who would like to receive credit for their studies abroad check with their university or college prior to registration.

A certificate will be awarded to the student at the end of the course.

When you enroll for this course, please specify what language you would like to be taught in.

Our school offers the possibility to attend a language course with a 5% price discount to students who do not have a sound knowledge of Italian.
