Florence, Italy
Friends, I am writing this entry to preview a trip I am all set to take this summer to Florence, Italy. I will be staying for a month in the city and studying at the Florence Academy of Art. Below are some samples of the student’s work after studying there. It is one of the rare institutions left that teaches the classical method of painting like the masters, and I am extremely excited to be studying there!

But beyond that, there is the excitement, romance and richness that Florence holds; the thought of staying in a city that essentially produced some of the greatest artists and musicians of all time, and that is so full of history. As the time draws closer (I leave in about a month) I am trying to learn Italian and read up on the methods of the masters so I am not completely uneducated when I arrive. I’ll be blogging regulary when I get over there, and in that way I hope you will be able to share in my adventures.
