Studio Classes:
These hands on courses meet twice a week for a total of 6 hours per week. Studio courses combine practical lessons, in-class demonstrations and slide presentations. When possible students go on-site to work or visit exhibits or museums of relevance to the subject being studied. All courses require outside work and in-class critiques both individual and in groups. More advanced studio courses may require written assignments and many require students to keep a sketchbook.
