			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Draw and paint in the heart of Florence, in the Tuscan countryside, in a wildlife reserve and in front of the sea.</span></strong> <a href="http://www.adgblog.it/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/319001_102924836478977_100002843827508_13669_3150727_n.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-18539" title="wildlife" src="http://www.adgblog.it/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/319001_102924836478977_100002843827508_13669_3150727_n-300x207.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="207" /></a>This workshop has been conceived for those students who want to draw and/or paint outdoors <strong>the monuments of Florence, the enthralling charm of the Tuscan countryside (where Leonardo da Vinci was born), the natural beauty of a wildlife park and the magic of the seascape</strong>. The aim of the course is to help the student to create a sketchbook with unforgettable memories of the different landscapes and beautiful places. The course can be recommended both to Art novices and to experienced artists and professionals who intend to familiarize with the freehand drawing as well as with the perspective sketch. During <strong>en plein air sessions</strong> students will learn how to draw and paint architectural elements, landscapes, plants and trees (and wild animals if you are lucky). The following techniques can be chosen: pencil, water colour, oil painting and pastel. Practice can also concentrate on the use of colour and on the perspective method.</p>

<p>During the workshop the students will follow the essential steps to making a fresco: for example they will learn how to prepare the <strong>arriccio </strong>(the preliminary layer of plaster spread on the tile), the cardboard for the <strong>sinopia</strong> and the use of the pigments.</p>
<p>The most peculiar quality of the fresco painting lies undoubtedly in its making: the <strong>pigment </strong>- a natural material &#8211; is laid on a fresh plastesetr several times in a short lapse of time, and through a cohesion process it fixes itself in the plaster, creating warm and subtle tones.</p>
<p>The teacher will guide the students through the different phases of this original and ancient technique. At the end of this short but <strong>very intensive</strong> workshop, students will have acquired the necessary skills for <strong>making a fresco on their own</strong>.</p>
<p>For more details please visit the <a href="http://www.adg.it/inglese/fresco_workshop.html">Fresco Workshop page</a> or contact AdG school at <strong>info@adg.it</strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.meteo.it/"><a href="http://www.adgblog.it/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/sole.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-9871" title="sole" src="http://www.adgblog.it/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/sole.jpg" alt="" width="130" height="121" /></a>What is the weather like in Florence?</a> This is one of the commonest questions students keep asking me, and one  of the most difficult indeed. I know that the weather question is a  main topic in every country, mostly used to start up a conversation. But  students are normally concerned with the weather before leaving their  country because they need to pack up and choose the clothes to carry  with them. My answer is always to put a bit of everything in the  suitcases, since the weather in Florence can be either terribly nasty or  surprisingly lovely. If we exclude the month of July, whose  temperatures have always been above 30 degrees (yes, we only use  centigrade in Italy) since the last ice age, and the months of December  and  January, which are as chilly and freezing as in most of Europe, the  other months often like to joke around with the climate. No doubt that  the greenhouse effect is one of the main causes of these erratic  changes, but I think that are few places around the world that you can  find 5 degrees in the morning and 25 in the afternoon, lots of rain or  the so-longed-for sunshine. <a href="http://www.adgblog.it/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/firenze_neve.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-15832" title="firenze_neve" src="http://www.adgblog.it/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/firenze_neve.jpg" alt="" width="256" height="192" /></a>The first result of these whimsical changes  is that many students catch a cold: when in the morning they see the sun  from the window, they probably think of the famous song “<a href="http://ingeb.org/songs/osolemio.html">o sole mio</a>”,  they just wear a t-shirt and a  pair of flip-flops although at 8 am  there are only 5 degrees and in a couple of days they go to the doctor  with their health insurance (non-UE students must get one before  departing from home or <a href="http://www.ciao.it/INA_Assitalia__Opinione_511497">buy one when in Italy</a>).<br />
My  advice is to do like the italians do: get dressed like an onion (&#8220;a  cipolla&#8221;), that is with different layers of clothing: for instance a  t-shirt under a jumper and a jumper under a jacket. During the day you  take some of your outfit off according to the temperature. However,  needless to say that “cold” and “hot” are often very subjective  adjectives. I have met a sixty-year old Norwegian lady who wanted to  convince me to bathe in the sea in February (don’t do that!) or an  American girl who constantly turned on the air-conditioning during  April. In Italy we have an old saying for April which is “aprile non ti  svestire”, which means: in April do not get undressed, but which can  also make you realize that clothes are definitely the best  air-conditioner. I guess the kyoto protocol supporters should take this  into account.</p>

<p><em>Italians make it better. We are talking about coffee of course. From the north to the south of the country coffee is a daily ritual which no Italian would ever abandon. There are two ways of making coffee: with an espresso machine and with a moka express.<br />
Espresso machines are normally used by professional baristas in bars and restaurants. If you want to have look at one of these machines you should visit <a href="http://www.lamarzocco.com/">La Marzocco</a> website<a href="http://www.adgblog.it/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/moka.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-15668" title="moka" src="http://www.adgblog.it/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/moka.jpg" alt="" width="105" height="212" /></a><br />
and you will also know the secrets of a good espresso, the famous 4M: M for “Mano”, the hand of the barista, “Macinatura”, the grinding of the toasted coffee beans, “Miscela”, the mixture of the different types of coffee, and the “Macchina”, the espresso machine of course.<br />
Useful advice and tips (in Italian) are also available on <a href="www.caffe.it">www.caffe.it</a> where you will also learn the importance of coffee in the Arts and Literature.<br />
The express <strong>moka</strong> is one of those essential things that every Italian cannot live without it. It makes an espresso coffee which is probably less strong and foamy than the one you have in a bar, but the taste is not so different. The express moka is easy to use and it is small so that you can take it with you while you are travelling, as most of the Italians do.<br />
Finally some word you should know about Italian coffee if you come to Italy: “macchiato”= with a drop of milk in it, “corretto” = with some whiskey or grappa in it (only after a big meal!), “ristretto” = very concentrated, “americano” = American style, “decaffeinato” = without caffeine.</em></p>
