Kelly Murphy was the co-instructor of the 2011 trip. She's an award winning illustrator and a professor on the illustration faculties of both Montserrat College of Art and Rhode Island School of Design, her alma mater.

Journalistic Drawing in Italy

In this course, students develop images both in sketchbooks, and as individual works based directly on their experiences living and traveling in Italy. Students closely observe, document, and comment on their investigations of various aspects of Italian life and culture. On-site drawing is a major focus of the course, as is the use of drawing as a communication tool. Students examine and consider the work of journalistic illustrators as well as artists relevant to the classes’ focus.
