Searching for Inspiration in Assisi

Yesterday afternoon students in Professor Bill Pettit’s Fresco Painting courses put down the brushes and went to the Basilica of San Francesco in nearby Assisi. Despite some missed train confusion — a regular occurence while navigating Italy’s public transportation networks — the students were able to spend several hours at the Basilica studying the world-famous frescoes for both content and technique.

Can’t wait to see everyone’s finished works next month at the Umbra Art Show!
