We will visit different art sites in Havana. Through guided fieldtrips and free time for art making and study, participants, WITH ALL LEVELS OF ABILITIES, will be able to sketch, draw, paint, make videos, and take photographs and exchange ideas.

Old Havana special characteristics have earned the territory the titles of National Monument since 1978; Cultural Heritage of the Nation (1979); World Heritage Site (1982); and Conservation Priority Zone (1993). The city hosts visitors arriving in Cuba each year from all over the world. Roughly estimated over one million visit fortresses, museums, plazas, palaces, galleries, restaurants and cafes. Havana's visitors become acquainted not only with its significant architectural master works of art nouveau, art deco, and eclectical styles, historical, and cultural treasures, but also with the area's residents, culture and their life style.

We will walk through narrow streets, visit four main plazas, the Ambos Mundos hotel where at the beginning of the 30's North American writer Ernest Hemingway stayed and wrote the first chapters of the novel "From Whom the Bells Toll". In addition, we will be part of a dynamic artistic community when visiting cultural centers, art galleries, and artist's workshops and the recently renovated National Museum of Fine Arts with an outstanding collection of Cuban and Universal art from the 17th century to the present.

All levels and abilities are welcomed in photography, video, drawing and painting. CubArtEdu will tailor dates to accommodate specific groups like art associations and schools.
