Investigate the principles and elements of design, make cultural connections and integrate influences-across-borders while advancing your artistic expertise.

Subject matter will include realistic and abstracted: still life, landscape and portraiture. Students will gain exposure in a variety of media in order to produce a varied portfolio that demonstrates technical skill as well as creativity and conceptual skills.

Using centuries-old techniques, students will learn how to create their own painting and drawing mediums from natural materials.

  • Egg tempera: used by Renaissance artists and modern masters
  • Sumi ink: a signature technique of Asian art and culture
  • Charcoal: possibly mankind’s earliest art material
  • Watercolor: natural pigments from our gardens and yards replicate materials used for thousands of years
