C. FINLEY
In this open and improvisational painting workshop, the unconscious—where your inner critic dissolves and your genius brain is nourished—will be engaged through playfulness, rigor, laughter and enchantment.
MARIO ANDRES ROBINSON
Using the Assisi cityscape and Umbrian landscape as inspiration, this workshop will utilize a number of steps in the process of creating your watercolors.
ELLIOT KRELOFF
Explore and learn a wide range of drawing techniques while improving your observation skills in an intimate and relaxed studio setting.
S.J. ROZAN
All fiction is woven from the same threads: character, setting, dialogue, plot, theme, pace. Genre fiction adds additional elements—crime stories lean heavily on plot, speculative fiction on setting.
ROBERT J. HUGHES
Embark on an enriching journey of storytelling—whether you're inclined towards the authenticity of memoir or the imaginative realms of fiction and theater—this course will help you move forward.
BARBARA SHOUP
This class will jump start your writing in ways that are both playful and challenging. Students will learn how writers get ideas, how they trick their minds into getting words on the page, and how they look objectively at their work.
BARBARA SHOUP
This class will bring out your inner adolescent to help you find a powerful fictional voice, and develop strategies for shaping your ideas into novels and stories.
MARIA ADELAIDE BASILE
In Assisi we'll visit stores, markets, museums and other cultural sites where you'll be encouraged to have conversations with locals and share your impressions, pictures, and questions which will focus on how to use spoken and written Italian. The course will be conducted entirely in Italian.
SELF-GUIDED
This program is open to independent artists and writers who want to work on their own with access to faculty input. Available in both sessions.
