Esplora! Vacanze studio arte e lingua Roma aprile 2018

Jason Skill (artist and art teacher) and Antonella Rea (language tutor) are intending to run an educational holiday for those interested in drawing, sketching, arts and speaking Italian.

This holiday will take place in Rome. The mornings will be spent either sketching with our resident artist Jason Skill or attending a language course at Scudit, a well renowned school, specialising in teaching Italian to adults.

In the afternoons Antonella and Jason will take both groups to discover some of the less known sights of the city and admire masterpieces of Italian art with further opportunities to draw and paint and speak Italian.

We will be flying from Newcastle airport on either:

Friday 20/04/18 to Friday 27/04/18

OR

Friday 18/05/18 to Friday 25/05/18

If you are part of the art group your holiday will include:

  • Transfers between Rome airport and accommodation

  • Accommodation in a B&B in the central quarter of S. Giovanni (walking distance from the Basilica of St. John in Lateran)

  • Guidance in sketching with pencil, ink and watercolour (the equipment required will be lightweight and easy to carry in a small backpack)

  • Guided visits in the afternoons

  • If you wish, the chance to learn a little Italian with the help of the language tutor

If you are part of the language group your holiday will include:

  • Transfers between Rome airport and accommodation

  • Accommodation in a B&B in the central quarter of S. Giovanni close to the school (walking distance from the Basilica of St. John in Lateran)

  • Four days Monday – Thursday morning tuition at Scudit

  • Guided visits in the afternoons

  • If you wish, the chance to learn to draw and sketch under the guidance of art tutor Jason Skill

Not included in holiday costs: lunch and evening meals will be enjoyed in various locations chosen especially to allow you to try traditional Roman cuisine at affordable prices.

Not included in holiday costs: public transport in and around Rome.

The weekend will be devoted to sightseeing, exploring some of the many hidden gems in and around Rome, where you can use your language skills and do a little sketching.

The following Monday to Thursday will be more focussed on the educational aspects of the holiday, but without forgetting we are in the city of la dolce vita.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE INTERESTED

Send an email to Antonella Rea to express your interest, indicating which group i.e. art or language, stating your preferred dates for the holiday and type of accommodation you would prefer.

If you would like to travel with a partner who is not intending to take part in either of the educational programmes we can agree a price.

Ideally we need to receive this information by the end of November. At this point we will know the most popular dates and Jason and I will decide if we have sufficient numbers to proceed with the holiday.
