Making the Renaissance
Special Programme by Alan Pascuzzi
How were the great masterpieces of the Florentine Renaissance created? What techniques did celebrated masters such as Michelangelo, Masaccio and Titian use to create their paintings and sculptures? Making the Renaissance is a brand new series which aims to answer these questions and more with a fully hands-on experience!
Starting on 12th October, Alan Pascuzzi, the renowned teacher and practitioner of Renaissance art techniques, will lead a series of five very special half day sessions on Making the Renaissance. Each session will begin with a site visit to study some outstanding examples of a particular technique. Then the group will return to the Institute for a hands-on workshop, making a small artwork using precisely that technique! No prior experience needed - just join in and give it a go!
