Pre-Portfolio Class
We call this our Pre-Portfolio class because it is the introduction to our ‘Portfolio Class’. This summer class is superb for easing the young artist towards the rigorous workload presented in our special program that starts in fall for any high-school bound student who needs a FABULOUS portfolio. It’s basically a college level presentation of exercises that become beautiful works of art for only the most serious young artists. A great way to decide if charting a course towards auditioning for Arts Magnet is right for your family, or perhaps another great high school art program in the city. This is also great for kids who are obviously bound for a life/career in the arts. Early preparation is everything! Open to students aged 12 and up…Sign up early
