Today dawned cool and rainy. We left the hotel at 10:30 am to visit the Churches of St. Maria Gloriosa dei Frari and Scuola Grande di San Rocco (no pictures allowed). While there we were looking at the works of Titian and Tintoretto. Both buildings seemed colder inside then outside, everyone’s hands and feet were cold, taking notes was difficult again, and you could see your breath even when inside. We broke for lunch around 12:30 and every student was responsible for visiting the Guggenheim Museum in the afternoon. The students were to select three pieces of art from this Modern collection and look to see how these works may have been influenced by the ones we have been studying. January is not the peek tourist season in Venice and when it is cold and raining the city can be beautifully quiet.
