In this course the students will produce art works, experimenting with different materials and mainly learning how to express themselves by the means of light and shadow in drawing, painting and by other means.
The workshop will be inspired and based on the art works of main European and American artists from the past up to today, whom I will introduce with lots of visual materials in the first 90 minutes of each class.
After the end of the course students will have the chance to show their art works in a group exhibition.
Trained academic skills are not required.
