Having been obliged to cancel our program for summer 2020 and summer 2021, Pratt in Venice returned to our fragile and beautiful site in 2022. And both the miraculous site and our wonderful hosts and collaborators were there to welcome and instruct us.
Painting alongside canals, studying masterpieces up close, and exploring printmaking, Pratt in Venice students are expanding their artistic knowledge abroad.
Being in a city where the architecture is artful and the makers drive the economy, I can’t imagine a better place to learn and live while producing inspired works of art.
Of course I was impressed, if not overstimulated, to draw and paint the City of Water, but more importantly, my understanding of art history as been completely revolutionized.
