ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Studio Intensive For Teens ages 15-19

In this 2-week studio intensive, students will develop skills that lead to expressive and creative portfolio quality works. Projects will range from an hour to a few days. Students will explore mediums such as colored pencil, acrylic, graphite and watercolor, and more. Students will create 4-5 portfolio ready pieces in this course specific to their needs, at any stage of portfolio development.

This course focuses both on observational projects as well as conceptual, as colleges most often look for both in a college ready portfolio.

Please bring a few examples of what you consider to be your best works to the first class for a critique! Guidance on what colleges and universities look for in a portfolio will also be discussed. – Get feedback on your existing portfolio – Develop your artistic voice while exploring new materials – Life drawing from a live model – Small class size with lots of individual instruction and guidance
