In this program,
“Paris, French Riviera” led by Professors Gina Werfel and
Hearne Pardee, students will explore the French countryside,
architecture and art by drawing and painting on site, in museums,
and from live models. We begin the program in a beautiful chateau
situated on a sandy beach overlooking the Mediterranean—a
landscape that inspired the Impressionists. There will be field
trips to Le Cannet, Antibes and Vence—focusing on the works of
Matisse, Bonnard and Picasso. We then move to Paris where we will
have access to its rich store of painting, sculpture and
architecture, visiting museums such as the Louvre, Centre
Pompidou and Musée d’Orsay; drawing from works in the museums
will be combined with work in the studio and around the city.
Students will work on paper or boards with drawing materials and
acrylic paints.
