On-Campus Summer Art Program 2022

CALLING ALL EMERGING TEEN ARTISTS!

Join us in person for our annual Summer Art Program, instructed by LAAFA’s Fine Art Faculty Co-Chair, Renée Caouette!

This INTENSIVE program is designed for serious teens at all levels of experience, and focus on each student’s individual trajectory. We will work on group projects and welcome the use of the class for independent projects or study. Students will expand their knowledge of fundamental techniques in value, color, and composition through drawing and painting.

Projects may include master copy studies, still life and using casts. This program incorporates art history lessons and demonstrations in a variety of wet and dry media. Students work at their own pace with a goal of finished project(s) for a portfolio or personal achievement.

*New students signing up for the second session only with limited drawing/painting skills will be given projects based on skill level. Current sample artwork will be requested for assessment.

Join Us For 2 or 4-Week Sessions!

TUESDAYS & THURSDAYS, July 12th – August 4th
9:00 AM – 5:00 PM (30-min. lunch break)
