Regular classes in drawing and painting are from 9 a.m.till noon, with lunch from 12:30-1:30 p.m. Instructors teach three days a week, and the fourth day students continue their class work on their own. There will also be open drawing sessions with a model if students wish. The early evening before our 8:00 dinner is time for independent work, exploring, or just spending time privately or with friends. Occasionally a lecture will be scheduled before dinner. Fridays are trip days.
Marjorie Portnow, CE instrcutor
The ongoing studio work from intense observation and analysis is interspersed with a day-trip to study Italy's millennia-old heritage of art, engaging CE students in a dialogue with the masterworks of the past and present. We travel by chartered bus to Assisi and Perugia.
A faculty member or visiting art historian gives preparatory lectures to enrich and enliven our trips. Students and faculty are then free to go independently or in groups to visit museums and churches, or anything they wish to see. The Student Handbook contains a guide for our trips and other travel information. Faculty and students organize informal visits to nearby towns like Orvieto and Spoleto, or Todi, or return to places the group has visited. Car rental services and public transportation enable people to travel independently.
