FB-35 Painting in Literary Seville
FB-35 Pintar la Sevilla Literaria – Course syllabus in Spanish
This course is for students who want to understand the city of Seville and its artistic heritage, combining the literature of Seville with the art of painting. To have a profound knowledge of a city and its heritage requires a very careful study of its most emblematic places. Painting is the perfect way to do this, giving one a greater vision of the city. We use different techniques: pencil, charcoal, watercolor, and ink, etc. Students get to have enjoyable classes that take place in parks, plazas, streets and the monuments of Seville, the Guadalquivir River, the Alcázar, the Barrio Santa Cruz, giving them the settings they need to study their subject, its form and history. With this class, they will discover the city of Seville, its hidden places and architecture, like no other student! At the end of the semester, the students will have a fine collection of drawings and paintings, which can make great souvenirs and gifts for their friends and families. They will have also acquired a deep understanding of painting; perspective and composition, which will help them appreciate art for the rest of their lives.
