Please note, while we outline here some of the goals of the specific academy, the academies are also all collaborative.  Students will have core disciplines and mentors while also being challenged to work with students in other disciplines. This creates a more open and creative cross-disiplinary dialogue and community of  young artists who can work in other artistic “languages.” 


Overview

 This course is designed for students with intermediate to advanced skills in drawing and painting. Assignments will be composed of a mixture of work from observation (object, landscape, life-drawing) and individual projects.


Specifics

July 29 – August 10, 2012


This class is designed for the intermediate to advanced student who is considering a pursuit of his/her artistic studies at the college level.  During the two week session each student will produce a body of work that will represent his or her technical abilities as well as an understanding of fundamental concerns in the visual arts. Classes will range through drawing, painting, and mixed media to allow you an ample opportunity to demonstrate facility and knowledge in life drawing, color theory, composition, etc. At the end of the session, each student will have a minimum of ten college entrance quality works that will be photographed and compiled into a standard, 12” x 9” presentation portfolio. In addition, each student will produce an adjoining resume and artist’s statement.


Application information will be provided with regard to institutions, colleges, and universities that have various departmental studies in the visual arts. The session will culminate in an exhibition in which each student will have his or her work on display. Students will also have focussed collaboration across academies.
