Teens will learn intermediate/advanced level drawing skills required in order to draw their self portrait with accuracy.

When a comprehensive self portrait has been drawn, students will be given the opportunity to think out of the box  for the body of the portrait and the environment. Artists call this " a point of departure"  incorporating their imaginations wherever each student wants to take their viewer's eye and mind AKA the student's visual story. 

PLEASE NOTE: all portfolio development students working on their required graphite compositions for auditions to NYC Art high schools will continue to work on their required compositions during the spring 2025 semester in order to achieve the highest level of compositions to compete for a seat in one of the NYC specialized art high schools, AND/OR to submit to high schools looking for students how have developed their non academic interests to a high level.
