    Portrait<\/summary>\n\n

    Through making rapid strokes in pencil (or charcoal) students will learn how to portray the essential features of a human face, and through more elaborate drawings they will focus on details, on the effect of light and shade (\u201cthe chiaroscuro\u201d), as well as on the psychological value of facial expression.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

    Oil paint<\/summary>\n\n

    Oil paint gives a “richness” and depth of colour that stresses on the shading and the highlighting. At the end of the semester Students will have learnt to emphasise or fade the brightness of the colours of different objects and the effects of light on metal, glass and bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

    Egg tempera<\/summary>\n\n

    Egg tempera paint is made from finely ground dry pigments, egg yolk and water. Students will learn to master this fast drying medium that is fluid by nature and must be applied thinly in semi-opaque and transparent layers. They will realize how different this linear style is from the thick, brushy and painterly technique of oil painting. They will also appreciate the subtle colour variations so characteristic of egg tempera painting (unlike the deep saturated colours typical in oil paints).<\/p>\n\n\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

    Fresco<\/summary>\n\n

    Fresco is one of the oldest painting techniques. The most peculiar quality of fresco painting lies undoubtedly in its making: the pigment – a natural material – is laid on a fresh plaster several times in a short lapse of time, and through a cohesion process it fixes itself in the plaster, creating warm and subtle tones. The artist can make no mistakes, as correcting them would imply destroying the whole work. That is why the fresco technique is particularly difficult to learn and master.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

    Sculpture<\/summary>\n\n

    These are some of the sculpting techniques that students can study during the semester (SEM) in Florence:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • bas-relief;<\/li>\n
    • sculpture in the round;<\/li>\n
    • coil technique.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n
