Institute Galilei
About
The Institute Galilei is a school of Italian language and culture in Florence.
The institute offers drawing and painting courses in one-to-one and small
groups (with 3-4 students). These courses are held by experienced artists
directly in their studio. Instruction usually starts by preparing a drawing
which is then transferred to canvas to be completed in oil, acrylic or
watercolour. The artist guides the student towards a preferred technique
and medium. Some courses involve students copying drawings by the Old
Masters such as Leonardo
da Vinci or Michelangelo.
Others mix up the curriculum by learning sculpture or the use of mixed
media like gold leaf. Courses run Monday, Wednesday and Friday (9-1pm),
up to a total of 12 hours a week.
Tuition Fee: One to One (2 weeks):
€1150, (3 weeks) €1550. Small Groups (2 weeks): €590, (3
weeks) €790.
