Portfolio Building Course:

This four week course is designed for middle and high school students preparing to apply for visual art programs, schools and other art opportunities.

Memento Mori: In this class we will explore the painting genre of Memento Mori Still Lives, but through the medium of charcoal. Though morbid in nature, Memento Mori's serve as a beautiful reminder of the life we live here on earth.
