2018 summer Studio Intensives announced
VCFA’s tuition-free, summer program for middle and high school-aged students returns this year. This is for any and all students interested in visual and media arts.
VCFA will offer Art & Design Studio Intensives beginning this July to rising students in grades eight through 12.
The summer Studio Intensives are geared toward any middle school or high school student interested in developing a creative portfolio, learning new techniques, and exploring ways to express personal and social visions. Emphasis in both Intensives is on experimentation, personal expression and developing conceptual content. Enrollment is application based, and capped at 15 students per studio. Students apply by submitting a digital portfolio, a letter of interest and contact information for their art teacher for a recommendation.
Application links are on our website: vcfa.edu/intensives.
VCFA will offer two Studio Intensives that last five days each, and take place from 12:30 p.m.—4:30 p.m. each day:
- The Traditional Media week (July 23-27, 2018) focuses on traditional media, with an emphasis on materials exploration and content development. Intensives students will have the opportunity to explore painting, printmaking, drawing, street art, and sculpture.
- The Digital Media & Design Methods week (July 30 – August 3, 2018) focuses on new media techniques, materials and processes. Projects may include video, animation, digital photography, graphics, industrial/product design, installation, and spatial practice.
- The annual gallery exhibition of student work is Aug. 4, 2018.
