Please note: 

Our Artistic Anatomy workshops are designed for obtaining a full understanding of the human body. All the course content is offered in sections within the two first years of the Three-Year program. As all topics related to the human body cannot be taught in one single workshop.  Each workshop session consists of a theoretical component and practical exercises.

 

When you take the workshop, you join in with the existing group of students undertaking a longer academic program. That's why it is impossible to choose your topics, but you can inquire about those with the admin office to ensure you are in the right group that aligns with your level of preparation and your needs. 

 

The workshop is not a separate course but is a part of our full-time program. It means that when you take the course you join the existing group of the students of a long-term program. However, as we valued 1 to 1 teaching and individual follow-up, each workshop student will receive the same amount of feedback and necessary assistance from the professor.

If there is a tour of the museum organised, the entrance fee is paid by the student, while professional guidance of the teacher is included in tuition. There is no class on days of Italian public holidays.​
