TEENS COLLEGE PREP ARTS AND DESIGN

These courses for aspiring artists and designers further skills and abilities, explore the creative process and develop style and means of visual expression. Students at all levels work with professional artists and art educators and receive a strong foundation in basic art and design principles plus guidance in developing strong portfolio pieces. Students can take any or all of the classes.
