SUMMER STUDIO PROGRAM (ages 13+)

Drawing

Drawing is the foundation of everything an artist will practice and in the realization of their ideas to a finished piece, including painting, sculpture and design. Students will create works on paper using a variety of mediums and surfaces understanding value studies to achieve light, shadow and dimension in their work. The self-portrait to drawing from a costumed model to plein air work is encouraged. Drawings can be studies for future paintings and three dimensional work. Each student will keep a sketch book of ideas. Individual expression will be guided as we work one-on-one with each student.

Painting

Composition, color and drawing skills are taught to students new to oil painting through still life and observational studies.

As students advance, we will explore interests and imagination with large-scale pieces as well as diptychs and triptych pieces. Students will also explore experimentation and abstraction.

Sculpting

Most middle and high school students do not have the opportunity to work three-dimensionally in the school environment. Sculpture class covers a wide range of traditional materials such as clay, plaster, wire and wood. Students will also have the opportunity to explore installation work and mixed media. Ideas are developed through art history, independent museum visits, maquettes and sketchbook work. You will learn to use tools and materials to achieve your vision in three dimensions on different scales and in different environments.

College Prep & Portfolio Development

An art portfolio is a requirement for applying to college for fine art, design and architecture. It may also be used as a supplement to your college application, expanding on your creative intelligence. We work with students to develop and refine their portfolio for submission to college. Personally geared to a student’s direction and inspiration, work is developed and progress assessed through regular meetings. College choices are investigated and goals are set to meet deadlines. Closer to college submission, work is refined and selected. After the work is photographed, students will be guided through writing descriptions of their work and an artist essay. A letter of recommendation is provided upon request. 

Private Consultation

Students and parents are invited for an evaluation of their work and discussion of their goals. Lenore Hanson has thirty years experience as Director of Studio Practices at Huntington Fine Arts working directly with students in Drawing, Painting, Sculpture and College Portfolio development. To make an appointment, email or call our office to coordinate availability. Bring your work and sketchbook.
