Teaching Interns work with Master Teachers in major courses only. The arts are taught from an academic perspective that challenges students' intellect, provides them with a thorough introduction to technical skills, expands their knowledge of art history, and fosters creative development. A student exhibit showcases work produced during the session. Art course fees cover expendable materials that are in lieu of textbooks.
Students expand their visual literacy through the drawing process.
Using a variety of media, students sharpen their skills through projects created from observation and the imagination. Such fundamental elements as line, form, value, and composition will be explored. Emphasis is placed on the artist's vocabulary, analysis of works of art, and development in the studio. Each student shoots, processes, and prints at least one roll of film each week. A working 35mm camera with manual control of all functions is required.
