The Summer Art Workshop aims to enhance the student’s understanding of developing a painting both physically as well as conceptually. Students are encouraged to develop their own artistic visions and are enabled by the technical proficiency and practical knowledge of HISA's working-artist instructors. Art workshop students are also encouraged to explore Greek culture and environment and to incorporate their new experiences and perspective into their creative craft. Trips to nearby islands such as Naxos, Santorini, and Delos, among other significant cultural and historical destinations reveal the origins of classical Greek art that have essentially contributed to aesthetic ideals and artistic theory. Students can broaden their perspective of the historical spectrum of painting and deepen their understanding and engagement in their own creations.
