This seminar is designed for High School Juniors and Seniors who are looking to build their portfolios before applying to a college art program. Students will create five drawings and a sixth work of art in a medium of their choice that will boost any portfolio to be at a highly competitive level with the goal of greater chances for college acceptance and potentially earning a scholarship to the chosen school of the individual student’s choice. Students enrolled in the weekly class are asked to spend equal time outside of class meetings. (15 hours in class, and 15 hours working between the six weekly classes.) The course is a hands-on studio class with very clear goals of creating individual projects that are designed to become outstanding portfolio pieces. There will be much personal feed-back and constructive criticism from the instructor, Thomas Germano. Thomas Germano is a professional artist and college Professor, teaching drawing, painting, and art history. His work can be viewed at www.thomasgermano.com and on Instagram: Thomas_Germano_Artist
