Like the travellers of the 19th century, our students of the Sketching Course are encouraged to sketch ‘slices of life’ and views they find particularly interesting.
Their materials go from ink to charcoal, from pastels to watercolour.
The teacher supplies a pencil and sketchpad and, after having noted each student’s level of skill and experience, suggests a series of sites (city squares, churches, museums) from which the student may select his or her subject, guides the student through the process of choosing a characteristic view, a group of statues, a building to depict, to experience en plein air sketching firsthand.
The course is available on an individual basis: this formula allows the student to construct the program directly with the teacher and adapt it to his/her individual training needs.
When you purchase a lesson package, the AEF Academic Secretariat will customise your timetable to offer you a tailored learning experience. The school arranges session times flexibly, matching your availability with the tutor's to ensure you get the best learning experience in Florence.
Organizational Note: Depending on the course type and the package purchased, the school may combine the individual 45-minute lessons into a single, more structured study session (for example, 2, 3 or 4 lessons combined into a single meeting lasting from 90 to 180 minutes). Consequently, the frequency and length of individual appointments may vary from week to week, without affecting the total number of lessons included in your package.
If you need to reschedule or cancel a lesson, please let us know by email or at the welcome desk by 4:30pm the day before, and we'll arrange a new time together. Lessons cancelled after this time, or missed without notice, cannot be made up.
