DESCRIPTION
During this course students will learn various basic techniques of digital illustration with the aid of Adobe CS5 software. The lessons and presentations encourage students to explore different styles while working to develop their personal vision.

ITALIAN LANGUAGE
We also combine the Graphic Design courses with Italian language for 3hrs per week – a chance to build confidence and understanding of one of the most beautiful languages in the world.   A development of knowledge of the language can help you to enjoy the culture and customs of Florence and Italy even more.

COST
The basic tuition fee for the course 1100 Euro (taxes Included).
LANGUAGE
The entire course will be instructed in the English language. Although many Italians have a basic understanding of English, knowledge of Italian is useful for getting around and meeting people.
