Services
All of my classes focus on equipping students with age-appropriate foundational techniques, and the confidence they need to tackle their art school application. For those with live or timed audition components we practice time management strategies, interview techniques, and artist statements. For those submitting portfolios we go in-depth on how to document works, and cover what works to include, in what order, and why.
This is real, practical skill-building in meeting the niche criteria of arts school applications.

Group Classes
A group class preparing each student to qualify for admissions to audition and portfolio-based school applications. Classes are capped at eight students.
These group classes focus on the underlying skills needed for any kind of digital media audition: learning how to analyze and ‘read’ images will help the students craft for intelligible images of their own. Experimentation in materials and composition will push them out of visually safe comfort zones into interesting design territory. Group classes meet weekly for one hour, with homework between sessions. Classes are capped at eight students for quality instruction and feedback. Classes are billed monthly.
These group classes are designed to equip students with the confidence, technical, and creative tools they need for successful applications to visual arts magnet middle schools nation-wide. No matter the program, admissions jurors are looking for applicants to demonstrate the same skills: technical observational drawing skills, creative and original thinking, and in some cases, a portfolio or timed audition component. Each of these can radically improve, with niche preparation. That’s what this course will do.
