Junior Art Intensive Cohort 1
What a joy it was to welcome teen students back on campus for Junior Art Intensive! They brought heaps of energy and creativity to the studio, as we worked together to expand their technical skills and explore ways to communicate their ideas through drawing and painting. Some highlights this year included ‘macro/micro’ drawings done out on the school plaza, a life-size ‘exquisite corpse’ drawing game and a sign painting project, giving students the opportunity to express their opinions on a chosen issue. Issues chosen included climate change, abortion rights, trans rights, mental health awareness, and racism. They also made cardboard and collage constructions which became a subject for observational drawing. The students rose to every challenge and I would like to celebrate their achievements and their resilience through all the adaptations they have had to make in the last two years.
