Pre-College Portfolio Development Summer Program is designed for aspiring artists looking to refine their skills and build a strong portfolio for college applications. This intensive program offers hands-on instruction in various mediums, personalized feedback and guidance on portfolio presentation. Students will explore new techniques, develop their artistic voice and gain valuable insight into the expectations of art school admissions as well as completing required portfolio projects. 

Week 3: Mixed Media is an exploratory pre-college course where students experiment with a variety of materials, including graphite, ink, pastel, acrylic, and digital tools. Projects include fractured self-portraits and oversized, pastel still-life studies, allowing students to push both concept and technique. By the end of the week, each student completes two portfolio-ready pieces that highlight their skills in observation, portraiture and mixed-media expression.
