You see a group of students practicing art in a room. They are drawing and sculpting, surrounded by classical objects. The students are working from casts of Greek and Roman sculptures, which is an interesting way to learn about art. You can look up the technique of chiaroscuro to learn more about how artists like this one use light and dark.
