SummerArts

July 25th-August 5th, 2011

Ages 12-16 years

This two-week workshop incorporates a variety of learning experiences designed for young adults interested in the visual arts.  Students create artwork, view art in the Museu galleries, go behind the scenes during installations, and meet and work with exhibiting contemporary artists.  All of these experiences are integrated with their time in the studio, teaching students how to make connections between art museums, art history, and their own interests, as artists in the 21st century.  Participants will complete a series of works of art in a variety of media, including drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, and three-dimensional design.  Materials and snacks are provided.

Members $650, Non-members $750
