Immerse yourself in the techniques and visual language of the Italian Renaissance. Designed for intermediate to advanced students, this course explores the drawing methods of masters like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo through historical context, observation, and hands-on practice.

Students will work with traditional materials such as silverpoint, charcoal, and chalk, while learning key concepts including linear perspective, human anatomy, chiaroscuro, sfumato, and drapery. You'll also study composition and storytelling by copying from masterworks and developing your own narrative drawings.

By the end of the class, you’ll have a deeper understanding of classical techniques and a portfolio that reflects the influence of Renaissance artistry.

Please bring this Drawing Pad. All other supplies included.

Each snake's head and tail will be made and glazed in class. Students will pound bottlecaps with a nail and create the body on heavy wire. Your instructor will return the snake assembled. This snake might just be able to keep unwanted creatures or birds away from the fruit on your trees! (But no promises!)

Artworks will be returned after the teacher fires them at her home and returns to Schack (usually takes one full month.)

All supplies included.
