The first four weeks are hands-on intensives in four mediums — drawing, painting, printmaking, and mixed media — so students get a taste of each and find what they enjoy. Then they choose a project that fits their own interests, plan it out, and build it over six weeks with an experienced artist guiding them the whole way.
