MassArt Pre-College Summer Studios

MassArt’s dynamic and engaging Pre-College Summer Studios program is for the young artist who is serious about their work. For students entering grades 11-12, the program is a four-week intensive experience in art making and critical thinking. Students develop the discipline required to achieve excellence in their artistic endeavors and produce work for their portfolios. Pre-College students attend three core courses – 2D Fundamentals, 3D Fundamentals, and Issues and Images – to strengthen the foundational skills that students need if they are choosing to pursue higher education in the visual arts. Students also take one elective that begins the third week of the program and meets intensively for the remainder of the program. Working off-campus provides a unique opportunity for developing a personal artistic practice that includes time management and creative problem solving skills.
