Serious studio time for serious teen artists.

The studio course for teens who want to take their art somewhere real. Studio Practice builds the disciplined habits behind strong work — a sustained sketchbook practice, sharpened fundamentals, and a developing personal direction. It's timed for the years that matter most: AP Studio Art and college portfolio building. Typically taken during the 11th grade year.

What they'll learn

• A consistent, working sketchbook practice
• Drawing and observational fundamentals at a higher level
• Developing ideas from concept to finished work
• The studio habits behind a strong portfolio

What they'll make: A growing body of work and a sustained sketchbook, with a standout piece featured in the gallery show.

Where it leads: The 11th-grade portfolio and AP year in our high-school arc, leading into Studio Practice II (Spring semester) and the 12th-grade Junior Mentor Program.

The semester ends in a real gallery show

At the end of the semester, each student's strongest piece is matted, framed in our shop, and hung in our gallery for a Friday-evening exhibition with refreshments. Families are invited, and the work is shown the way real art is shown. Your child's effort is treated as what it is — art, not a craft to stick on the fridge. It's the part families remember most, and it's something no other art program in the area offers.

What's included & good to know

• 12 weekly sessions, 90 minutes each (Fall semester, August 24–November 20) (no class during Fall Break Oct 12-16)
• Semi-private class (2-3 students), so every student gets real individual attention
• A defined curriculum with clear skills and a mid-semester progress check — not open studio time
• Each student's exhibition piece is matted and framed in our shop, included in the tuition price 
• One step in a multi-year path that grows with your child
