Work in small class sizes on innovative and original projects which will help you to develop your portfolio and give you a chance to engage in art media not available in most high school learning environments. Instructors are professional artists-faculty who teach college coursework and run professional studios. This two-week program (July 14th-25th) offers 6 hours of instruction and studio time per day, giving you the opportunity for hands-on learning and creative development. In addition to studio time, you will have social interaction with other students, visit artist studios, the Kent State Museum, and School of Art Collections. You’ll receive feedback from KSU faculty on your work and participate in a workshop to photograph and document your art pieces produced during the program. Whether you are new to art, or an emerging young artist interested in fleshing out a portfolio, SOA Jumpstart has an experience that’s just right for you. We welcome students in grades 10-12 to explore new avenues of artistic development and to learn from award-winning faculty artists while immersing themselves in a creative college-level studio art experience.Please note: Students are required to participate every day of the two-week program.
