Mature artists will engage in a dynamic two-week summer art program, offering opportunities for teens to blossom into creative and thought provoking young artists. Teachers and assistants will help guide teens

to express their innate creativity and develop drawing and painting skills though observation, as well as sculpture, printmaking, illustration, watercolor, colored pencil and more. Mature artists will keep a summer art journal, using watercolor and pen-n-ink techniques. We will study an artist of the week, as well as draw inspiration from our weekly theme.

Artist/teacher, Nikki Girgenti will support students as they strive to set themselves apart as artists: whether they are applying to a BFA program, intend to submit an art supplement, or simply want to expand their body of work as they prepare for AP or IB art courses in high school. In two 3-week sessions, students will be able to fully immerse themselves in the creative process. Studies in observational drawing, figure drawing, mixed media, watercolors, acrylic, printmaking, digital photography, landscapes, book arts, found object art, sculpture, and alternative techniques will be explored.
