SUMMER 2016
This weeklong intensive program provides middle school students from across New York City the opportunity to practice observational drawing and painting techniques, and prepare artwork for their portfolios, which are required for admission to specialized arts high schools. Visits to art galleries and museums serve as inspiration for the students while they develop their craft.
This program is provided on a first-come, first-serve basis. The classes fill quickly so you are advised to apply early once registration has begun.
