Italy has a way of making artists of us all!

Highly revered for the number of artists that claim this country as their homeland, art is woven into the very fabric of life here.  It's only fitting that the Middle Ages, sometimes referred to as the Dark Ages, came to an end with the Age of Discovery and art here in Italy.

You can also create a colorful Venetian mask or learn to create a mosaic which was a popular art during the Roman Empire period.
