Man and the operative forces of nature: a dialogue that must be recovered

3-4 April - THE IMAGES AND AMBIANCE OF EASTER
24 - 25 - 26 to 27 June - Seminar:
"EXPLORING THE ARTISTIC QUALITY OF RAPHAEL"
Unlike the Sunday painting sessions, which provide a continuity of theme and student presence throughout the year, these weekends are open to everyone and the artwork is completed in the two days available. The chosen dates correspond to four periods of the year: the feast of Saint Michael, Christmas, Easter and the feast of St. John. The theme for these meetings will focus on artistic activity with the intention of rediscovering the forces of nature that are particularly active during these periods. For the feast of St. John we have added a four-day seminar to explore the qualities of Raphael through his works of art. The detailed program will be available in Easter 2010.
GIOVE 2007 - 2008
ART SCHEDULE FOR PAINTING COURSES HELD BY M. MARCO ROSSI
HOW TO APPROACH PORTRAITURE AND THE HUMAN FIGURE
THROUGH DRAWING, CHIAROSCURO AND COLOUR
The four humours and the typologies of the human being,
facial expression in relation to the inner nature of the human soul,
chromatic harmonies - portrait - human figure.
Pencils and charcoal crayons for chiaroscuro and watercolours for colour will help you to enter the two-dimensional surface of the blank sheet of paper. From here we will embark on a journey in which both internal emotions and forms and colours presented on the surface will meet. Through this interplay of the interior - exterior we shall attempt an exploration of the artistic element in figurative art.
Meetings will be held on Sundays (twice a month) from October to May at the 'Verdealloggio' holiday farm in Giove.

Taijiquan is a martial art, philosophy and well-being
Protected by its own legend, the origins of Taijiquan are found in the Taoist and Confucianist traditions.
The psycho-physical benefits have always been known by the people who practice this discipline. That's why nowadays it's mainly known as the art for a long life and well-being.
Taijiquan is for anyone who'd like to get to know this ancient discipline, without any age restrictions, as it will adapt to all requirements.
Through Taijiquan everyone can regain awareness of our body movement.
