Description

Drawing & Painting Intensive
Students deepen their drawing and painting practice through advanced material exploration, contemporary image‑making, and critical approaches to artmaking. Students investigate themes such as identity, culture, abstraction, climate, and the natural world while expanding their technical skills and conceptual range. Through research, critique, and engagement with both historical and contemporary references, they develop stronger visual literacy, refine personal voice, and build a more intentional, inquiry‑driven studio practice.
The Art & Design Intensive Programs are yearlong, once-per-week programs designed for students ages 10-19 who wish to dive deep into a focused program area and develop a more thorough and rigorous artistic practice. Students will push themselves on more advanced concepts of craft and technique and develop close community in a supportive environment. At the core of the curriculum is the enhanced development of each students’ voice through close mentorship and expanded learning opportunities such as group critique and exhibition. Regular attendance is required.
