Discover the magic of Rome with paper and pencil
Would you like to explore Rome just like a real artist, transforming urban scenes into works of art?
IED Roma offers a five-day summer course designed for 14-18 year olds who would like to immerse themselves in the world of urban sketching. It is not necessary to be an expert, all that is required is a sense of curiosity and a desire to express oneself through art.
Guided by experienced illustrators, you will explore the streets, squares and most picturesque corners of Rome, while learning the basic techniques of freehand drawing and developing your own personal style. Amidst en plein air sessions and practical workshops, you will experience how to capture architectural perspectives, urban details and unique ambiences.
The course will culminate in the creation of a personalised carnet de voyage: a visual diary that will not merely represent a special, tangible memento of your experience, but also a useful portfolio for presenting your work in future creative or educational contexts.
