- programma's in de ochtend, 's middags invulling naar keuze. (Ik streef naar een overzichtelijk programma: ik weet uit eigen ervaring hoe indrukwekkend (en dus ook vermoeiend) dergelijke activiteiten kunnen zijn, dus dat betekent een paar uur intensief werken. Ik heb gekozen voor een programma waarin we in de ochtenduren (09.00 - 13.00 uur) aan de gezamenlijke thema's werken. 's Middags is er ruimte voor je eigen beleving. Je kan doorgaan met werken op locatie, je voorstudies uitwerken, zwemmen in het Lago Trasimeno, een lange siesta houden of bij mij in het atelier verder werken. Of wat je wilt. Er is zoveel te zien in de directe omgeving...)
- kennismaking met verschillende technieken/materialen.
- veel individuele aandacht op jouw eigen niveau (Jij geeft aan en ik vul aan. En in. Laat je verrassen door nieuwe invalshoeken, andere technieken. De groep is daarom ook niet te groot)
- bijzondere locaties Toscane/Umbrie, rondom Lago di Trasimeno (o.a. Castiglione del Lago, Panicale, Cortona)

INSTRUCTOR

The Dutch artist Agnes den Hartogh takes the visitors to a journey worldwide to share her impressions. All over the world she has done a large number of projects (Rabobank Foundation, Rotary, Cadena Foundation, and also for many companies) and she has travelled to different places in Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America. Every place gives her inspiration. Her favourite themes are architecture and the way people live. The quick drawings in her sketchbooks are the start of big paintings, collages and monotypes. Especially the last years she has fallen in love with the Tuscan and Umbrian area and has created a lot of artwork inspired by historical places in Italy.

In July 2011 she started in Casamaggiore-Castiglione del Lago (Umbria, Italy) her studio Tipografia Sperimentale.

After her study on the Academy of Arts in Kampen the Netherlands – where she graduated in Graphic Design, specialized Illustration Design - she worked for 11 years as a professor on the Art Highschool Graphic Design in Amsterdam and one year at the Multimedia Academy in Leeuwarden. She combined her teaching with working in her own graphic design enterprise, where she did many different design projects for o.a. KLM, Tommy Hilfiger, Ministry of Finance, Rabobank Foundation. In the meantime she worked also as an autonome artist and she developed her techniques (collage and experimental printing) and tried to find a balance between these complicated techniques and her very quick way of drawing and illustrating impressions.

Agnes has done many exhibitions and projects all over the world (Honduras, Kenia, Albania, Poland, Cambodia, Mexico and Laos) and now she combines her work as professional illustrator in Holland with her works and workshops in her studio in Casamaggiore. In the studio Tipografia Sperimentale she expanded her techniques, inspired by all the ingredients the Umbrian and Tuscan cities and landscapes can give her.

As a member of Rotary International she is involved in national and international projects. Agnes also works for Dutch magazines by publishing articles and is a member of the world wide organisation Urban Sketchers.
