    Description

    Join us for a six week in-person program offered to cur­rent high school stu­dents (grades 9 – 12) inter­ested in build­ing new skills for their cre­ative pur­suits. This studio-based program helps you develop a strong creative portfolio with opportunities for critique, portfolio reviews, and guidance with documenting and presenting artwork.

    The course includes ample time and space to develop your own creative work, while also providing lessons in art materials and methods, art history, and professional practices. Students who complete this program will be eligible to participate in an annual showcase at Crooked Tree Arts Center.

    All high school courses are taught by professional teaching-artists who provide individualized instruction to help students reach their goals and create portfolio quality work. Students in 8th grade may be considered for the program (as space allows) with a recommendation from an art teacher, mentor, CTAC faculty and/or a portfolio.  

    Students currently enrolled in the after-school program will receive a High School Portfolio Membership (based on enrollment dates) discount on Saturday Art Clinics.
