​

An artistic residency with Juliano Hollivier and the Life Model School, Art & Reference offers each artist a rare opportunity to co-create an experience with the top life model in the field. We offer a unique space for collaboration so that artists can realize their own creative vision. The joint creation of customized Performance time in support of the artist's work practice can only be found at the Cris Ferrantini Art Studio and Life Model School. No other residency allows this level of creativity to be realized with the input and guidance of another professional artist. The experience created by Juliano Hollivier is unparalleled in the world of artistic residencies. The School and Studio welcomes all artists and can customize a special artist residency program for you.

​

Life Drawing Practice Experience 
Daily practice of drawing the Nude based on topics or techniques previously defined by the artists. A new proposal of the Nude is practiced at school: the model poses as the subject of his body exposure, in accordance with what the artist needs to evolve. Corporal dramaturgy, scenic objects, props, lighting, music and contextualized poses are part of this practice. 

​

Life Model Training Course I and II 
Preparing the body with information related to the artistic exposure of the Nude is one of the objectives of this course. The expansion of body awareness is also one of the proposals. Diversified subjects regarding the profession make up the material worked on: 

• Historical Introduction About The Nude

• Anatomical Reference

• Communicative Body

• Being Nude in Art

• Illusory Immobility

• The Mediating Body

• Essentials

• The Body on Pause

• Scope of work 

 

The subjects are treated with practical-theoretical strategies. It is important that the student is engaged in the knowledge of their own body and has an open attitude to artistic nude. However, it is important also to emphasize that students do not necessarily need to expose themselves physically nude in activities. 
Although this course works with the exposure of the physical and psychological body and this inevitably awakens your inner self, this is not a therapy. It is imperative that you are willing enough to deal with your limits and imperfections. They will show up!
