It is exciting to follow the history of the mosaic through the various times and styles in history. Learn the procedures necessary to make a mosaic and discover the aesthetic-artistic secrets which allow us to understand the articulate and complex creative techniques. The techniques of mosaic-making are ancient. They were used by the Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines. The Byzantines, in particular, reached the heights of technical and expressive perfection, as we can witness today in their grandiose floors of villas, palaces and spa centres which date back to the Roman era, and the brilliantly coloured wall decorations within the villas and also in the oriental and western Byzantine basilicas.
The proposed formative course aims to analyse both the ancient and contemporary mosaic through its artistic procedures, thus enabling the student to grasp the extent of its power of significance.
The students on the course will be able to have access to the discovery of non-codified laws, through the use of mosaic materials similar to those used in ancient times.
By knowing the techniques the historical-documentary and symbolic aspect of the art object is revealed to us. The lessons aim to actually make small sized frescoes. The students will be guided towards the discovery of the secrets of ancient techniques of the fresco of the 1300s and the Renaissance period so that the student reaches a more complete understanding of this art.
The fundamental work-shop activity, which is present in every proposed seminar, is introduced right away during the first lesson, during which, aided by audio-visual and multimedial support, we shall illustrate the outline of the history of the mosaic and the fresco, the materials used, the work procedures: in particular the practice phase of cutting mosaic materials and also simple exercises in order to understand the basic principles of the techniques used by ancient mosaicists or by the ancient fresco painters.
Exclusively for the students which choose seminars (B or/and C) . There will be a lecture-conference on the fundamental meanings of the language of mosaics during the course of time: dating from its origin to the present day. We plan, furthermore, to organise a guided tour with experts, of the foremost monuments which are decorated with mosaics namely: basilicas and baptisteries in Ravenna.
The seminars are held by well knon artist-teachers with a vast teaching experience.
