ART ACADEMY
SUMMER 2009
Intensive Art Program for High Schoolers
July 20 –31

TCU Art Academy is a summer art program designed for any high school student— from the student who wants to build a portfolio to the one who just simply enjoys the creative process. You too can experience art in a studio setting.

The Academy meets daily from noon to 4pm for 2 weeks. Academy students concentrate on their choice of major: painting, 2-D design, Ceramics or drawing. For a meaningful and in-depth studio experience, workshops last 4 hours daily. Students will get one-on-one writing assistance in preparation for the “artist’s statements” that will accompany work in the final exhibit.

EXPECTATIONS
Students accepted into the TCU Summer Art Academy are held to the highest standards, the intensity of the workshops demand students be in attendance each and every day. In keeping with serious study associated with advanced studios and college preparation, each student should come prepared to interact with others and with the workshop instructors. You will be challenged to learn new skills and new ways of approaching and understanding art.
