Studio courses offer time to develop individual practices and to explore diverse approaches, methods, and technologies. Opportunities are given to develop personal directions and interests with chosen instructors or external experts and professionals. Academic classes engage in the most important historical and contemporary critical debates; studio visits with Italian and international artists give the possibility to directly experience and have contact with the issues and practices of art; field trips (to Berlin, London, Paris, etc.) are fundamental occasions to get inside the development and production of exhibitions.
