\nDrawing Rome\u2019s body and persona<\/em> is a practical course focused on artistic drawing through an immersive week in the city of Rome, its art and architecture. Students will learn how to apply the basic rules of Artistic Anatomy with lectures, workshops, and live drawing sessions – both on campus and in the most compelling locations of the city.

At the end of the week, students are asked to present their own project according to the main aim of the lab (a drawing, a comic, a storyboard, etc.)
\nVisits at some museums, walking tours and drawing sessions en plein air<\/em> are included in this course.<\/p>\n
