the exaggerated fashion figure as well gain the skills necessary
to create a professional fashion design presentation. Each

and sewing techniques, as well as the terminology necessary
for designing their own clothing collection. At the end of
the week, they will present their work to a panel of fashion
professionals. Hours are 10am - 4pm, five days per week. Studio
Intensive For Teens (ages 13-17): August 18 - 22. This one

of art history. There will be a field trip to New York City
to visit a museum. Each studio day will include drawing and
painting from life, master study and group critique and discussion.
A visit from a guest artist will broaden students awareness
of what it means to be a working artist. This intensive is
