The conversation spilled over into a coffee break, which the class conveniently took up on the terrazza of the Uffizi. Pastries and cappuccini provided the necessary refreshment before students returned to the galleries to see more. Since I was with them, I got to chat a little too, and I've rarely enjoyed a pasta con mele (pastry with apple filling) so thoroughly. Students also had the opportunity to practice their photography skills and take aim at getting some good shots of the corridors of the museum. With the light flowing in from the windows and the long hallways stretching out ahead of them, they could experiment with the settings on their cameras to get exactly the effect they desired. Meanwhile, other classes have been tackling other challenges. The Italian cuisine class recently did a workshop in making pizza from start to finish. I didn't have a break in my schedule to go with them, but when I heard how good the pizza was, I regretted that I didn't make it a priority. And of course Lindsay's studio art class, so popular among students, is always off on some incredible adventure. Similar to Jenny's class, they've been learning about linear perspective. In their case, however, the goal is to create architectural drawings using this new skill.
