Immerse yourself in the techniques and visual language of the Italian Renaissance. Designed for intermediate to advanced students, this course explores the drawing methods of masters like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo through historical context, observation, and hands-on practice.

Students will work with traditional materials such as silverpoint, charcoal, and chalk, while learning key concepts including linear perspective, human anatomy, chiaroscuro, sfumato, and drapery. You'll also study composition and storytelling by copying from masterworks and developing your own narrative drawings.

By the end of the class, you’ll have a deeper understanding of classical techniques and a portfolio that reflects the influence of Renaissance artistry.
