Teenager Portfolio Development

This semester course for teenagers is designed to advance students' artistic skills and creative thinking through a range of activities. This course is well suited to support students preparing their art portfolios for university admissions, as well as for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Art exams.

Throughout the course, students will develop and expand their technical and creative skillset. Instructors will give demonstrations and guide students as they explore a variety of processes and artistic mediums, including many experimental multi-media techniques as well as processes to aid in the development of meaningful conceptual themes for their artwork. Students will also learn from one another in guided group critique feedback sessions, supporting a collaborative learning environment. All of this will build students’ technical and creative skillsets, giving them a strong foundation as they develop independent artistic projects with consistent personalized feedback and guidance from the instructors.
