UNFORGETTABLE, INSPIRATIONAL, INFORMATIVE
For the past 30 years EAS has been taking students of all ages from 8 to 80 to Venice, Florence and Rome to experience at first hand the splendour of Italian art and architecture. The 4 -5 day trips are uniquely designed to give participants not just an in depth appreciation of each individual masterpiece but also an understanding of its wider significance in the history of art.
Our itineraries are carefully constructed to include the most important monuments in each city whilst our exclusive contacts provide access to lesser known private collections. Crucially students are taught directly in front of the relevant works of art and architecture and are encouraged to participate in the often lively discussions that ensue.
EAS courses are open to all ages and all levels of interest and are equally suitable for families, couples and individuals. Our goal is to provide a truly memorable and authentic experience. With this in mind we often arrange accommodation and events in private houses, villas and palazzi not generally open to the public.
About Ann Buchanan
Ann Buchanan has taught Art and Art History for 35 years at every level from primary to university. She is a firm believer in the value of interactive teaching and her infectious enthusiasm and passion for Italian culture mean that EAS trips abroad are always voyages of discovery.
Practical Art Teaching
The ability to draw or paint the monuments encountered on the trip often leaves a lasting impression. Ann's husband, the water colourist Hugh Buchanan, gives masterclasses in drawing and watercolour.

Berlin, Charlottenburg and Potsdam have world class art collections which cannot be missed. In order to visit as many as possible we will stay in centrally located 5* Hotel De Rome. Situated by Unter den Linden and a short stroll to the magnificent galleries on Museum Island. We will visit these, as well as the Gemeldegalerie and Neuegalerie, featuring Art that was confiscated in the Second World War.
Further afield we will visit the Baroque and Rococo palaces of Charlottenburg and Potsdam. For this cultural tour we have included an option to purchase tickets to the Operas 'Norma' and 'Tosca'.
The Hotel de Rome is one of the finest buildings in the city, on Behrrenstrasse, parallel to Unter Den Linden.
