Art After School:

Portfolio Prep

​

Our newest Art After School program, Monday afternoon classes for 5th-8th grade artists are a chance for older students to experiment and

explore while working towards a portfolio that can be used for specialized high school applications.

 

These student-driven classes balance open studio time with guided explorations in a variety of

media, and are co-planned by students and a professional Teaching Artist in accordance with

the class’ interests. Possible units of study include drawing from observation, acrylic painting,

relief printing, and sculpture using both

traditional and found materials.

 

Semesters include visits with working artists,

field trips to local arts organizations and

cultural institutions, and an end-of-semester student-curated exhibition.
