Course Description

Summer Sketching in Italy
Art 2, 98/198 or Art 199

Instructor: Bryce Vinokurov

Location: Todi, Siena, Florence, Rome (and more), Italy
Dates: June 20-July 19, 2026

Learn to draw and appreciate art in the green heart of Italy. For the first three weeks of the program, we will be in the medieval hill town of Todi. In this small Umbrian town, you will draw from the landscape, still life and the figure, and have opportunities to interact with the local residents. From this amazing site in central Italy, we will also take day trips to Florence, Siena, Assisi and Orvieto where we will be visiting museums and churches that house some of the Renaissance’s greatest works of art. As the old proverb says: all roads lead to Rome, naturally our last part of the trip will be spent in this city resplendent with ancient and modern wonders. We will visit the Borghese Gallery and many of the ancient Roman sites such as the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the Pantheon.

Taught in English. No Prerequisites required.

Enrollment period: Dec. 3, 2025-Mar. 19, 2026
