NEW! Introduction to Fresco 4-day Private Workshop at
the Fresco School!
The Fresco School is proud to announce there new project. A
creation of the buon fresco cycle in St John’s of Baltimore City
United Methodist Church is soon to begin. Presently the church
is working on the restoration of its sanctuary.
As it is planned, the project will span over 2-7 years, iLia
Anossov students will take major part in working on frescoes as
well as local community members will be given the opportunity to
participate and learn. Church’s own housing facility is used to
setup FrescoSchool’s Baltimore location.
Inaugural
5-day buon fresco workshop took place on August 18th-22nd
2004. There were 44 buon frescoes painted by 12 students during
this workshop!
This partnership offers very exciting possibilities. Not only
will the students enrolled in these classes learn the priceless
fresco techniques presented during our classes, they will have the
opportunity to leave a timeless mark on the sanctuary itself.
The
congregation of St John’s was organized in 1828 from
members expelled by the Methodist Episcopal Church
over issue of lay rights and representation.
Throughout the years, the congregation has been at
the forefront of Christian social action. They have
taken it upon themselves to lend their support to
the arts and social actions in a variety of
different mediums and settings.
In maintaining St. John’s social action and interest
in the community along with the arts, the Fresco
School will also be involved in community outreach
programs. We plan to offer scholarships to
low-income and homeless individuals with the desire
of giving them applicable skills. It is our hope
that this knowledge will enrich their lives while
giving them a valuable knowledge.
