Elevate your work and develop your portfolio for college! The Art League offers an intensive 2-week program for high school students to fully immerse themselves in the creative process and build their portfolios for college. Students will experience professional studio practices in observational and figure drawing, painting, mixed media projects, and more.  Subjects will include the drawing from the live model, design principles, still life, conceptual compositions and 3D building.

Teens who are serious about pursuing art in college need a comprehensive portfolio. This program will guide teens in developing a well-rounded portfolio for applying to competitive art programs. Get feedback on your existing portfolio and develop your own voice as you explore new materials.
