Every year from June to September the Teatrio association organizes courses in illustration for young students interested in pursuing such a career. They are conducted by Italian and foreign illustrators, such as: Fulvio Testa, Cecco Mariniello, Sophie Fatus, Adelchi Galloni, Mario Gomboli, Emanuele Luzzati, Kveta Pacovskà, Lisbeth Zwerger, etc.
This courses aim to give young people a meeting point with some of the most renound national and international artists, enabling them to learn from them and check their own ideas with them. These are the contents of the course organised by the Cultural Assosciation Teatrio to be carried out during the course: techniques, methods of learning, style and excercises.
At the begining of each course both the artist and the sharers, should show some of their own works, thus stimulating discussion on the graphic-pictorial techniques of illustration. During these courses the fundemental theoretic-practical language of figuratve exspression, specifically that of illustration will be raised. More precisely: what is an illustration, the difference between illustration and cartoons, the structure of the book, the structure of fairytales and research of ‘the determining actions of a tale’, useful graphic-pictorial techniques, cutting and shaping, the boundaries of the layout and cover.
Furthermore during each course there is a free visit conducted by the teacher of the choosen course at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection Foundation.
