Summer Portfolio Preparation 2010

     

Thank you for your interest in Summer Portfolio Preparation. The following information will tell you a little more about the program.

Portfolio Preparation is designed for High School juniors, seniors and graduates who are preparing for a college level art program. The faculty of the Art Academy of Cincinnati
will teach two sessions. In the full-day program, instruction will be given in advanced
figure drawing, creative processes and the majors offered in the studies of visual arts.
The sessions will also include information on portfolio development and preparation,
careers in art and art history, and oral and written communication skills to communicate
the language of the visual arts. Full-time faculty and other local artists will visit sessions
to discuss their work and to speak on special topics. Students will visit local agencies,
galleries, and artists’ studios.

The full day classes will meet from 9:30 am – 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday with a break for lunch.
