Atelier Extension Programs are offered on a quarterly or yearly basis. For the pre- or post-Atelier student, or anyone wishing to deepen their skills with other like-minded artists under the instruction and mentorship of an Atelier Director. Pre-approval of Instructor is required. Contact our Registrar directly for instructions. Option to pay quarterly or yearly.
Intent:
To build a community of artists working predominantly in the media of drawing, with an emphasis on the human figure, who are looking for critical discourse, instructor mentorship, and peer to peer feedback
Rationale:
Establishing a studio practice after completing the rigors of an art education can be a difficult and isolating endeavor. Day to day life distractions can easily take over a postgraduate’s studio practice, and without the structure of a program, can leave them feeling a bit lost. And, as you know, to hire a model with any sort of regularity is financially straining and logistically difficult to maintain.
Goal:
To offer mentored sessions that meet weekly, working from a live model. These sessions include critical feedback of figurative work and personal projects. The goal is to offer postgraduate students a supportive community through group discussions and mentorship to help progress and support their studio practice.
