The tutor, the artist Francis Pratt, has done special and illuminating research into how we use our eyes when painting and drawing and has published widely in both academic and popular magazines. The Lacoste School of the Arts is a unique artistic community located in the medieval village of Lacoste in the Luberon section of Provence, France. Lacoste's faculty, teaching assistants and visiting artists are chosen for their ability to share their knowledge, skill and personal attitudes. Courses take advantage of the history and avant-garde traditions of the area as well as the ancient stones of Carnac and the area's natural beauty. Teachers come from major US art schools.
Students live with French families.
Summer program only.
