“Drawing II in Italy focused on refining drawing and conceptual skills beyond the beginning level by learning from the Renaissance Masters on location in Florence and Rome, Italy.”

“For 17 days we hit all the sights of Rome, Pompeii, and The Island of Capri, and we studied the art, architecture, history, religions, philosophies of the time. While in Rome we saw the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Vatican City – Sistine Chapel, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, and other land marks; Pompeii – we hiked up Mount Vesuvius and explored the old Pompeii city; The Island of Capri we got to experience seeing Villa Jovis and the view of Sorrento!”
