ADVANCED ART Program THURSDAYS, 4:00 - 6:00 pm, for high school students ages 14-19 Many students contemplate a career in the arts but are not aware of the numerous vocations which require creative minds and artistic applications. Instructor Rachel Hopkins will work with individual needs of students to develop artistic strengths in concept/composition, technique, critique, and portfolio development. DRAWING and PAINTING will be the primary focus as students create a series of projects to prepare their portfolios for college applications, scholarships competitions, job interviews, and personal development. Students will participate in class CRITIQUES throughout each project, to develop skills in communication and working in collaborative environments. Advanced Art Fall: AMERICAN ILLUSTRATION- The Creative Process, from sketchbooks to final compositions Students will learn the history of AMERICAN ILLUSTRATION and experience conceptual development from the sketchbook to finish art. Design Street instructors will share insights into “life as a working artist”, as students contemplate career goals and preparation beyond high school education. Styles and techniques by historical and contemporary illustrators will inspire students while learning to use a SKETCHBOOK as an essential tool for creative development, communication, and practice. Instructors will lead students through a series of creative challenges, to create finished art, while developing confidence in a variety of mediums and techniques. Advanced Art Spring: AMERICAN ILLUSTRATION- Art and Reproduction, Analog Printmaking Techniques Students will continue learning the historical significance of AMERICAN ILLUSTRATION and the professional differences between fine art (self-expression) and commercial art (visual communication). Students and instructors will recap Fall concepts/themes (and finished art) for use in printmaking, then discuss why reproducing artwork (beyond digital reproduction) can become a profitable way to generate income as a working artist. A variety of analog (“hand made” without a computer) printmaking techniques will be experienced including block printing, etching, screen printing, and more. Students will finish the semester with a collection of prints ready for marketing and sales, and learn ways to set up/sell at events, art fairs, and outdoor art markets Contact Rachel@designstreetplainwell.com PRIOR to enrollment, to ensure this is the right fit for your student.
