Program Overview
The 2-month intensive program is perfect for students who already have some artistic experience but want to take their portfolio to the next level. Over 8 weeks, students will create 10 works that cover a variety of mediums and artistic styles, which will demonstrate their versatility and depth as artists. This program also includes English language support tailored to the art world, ensuring students are prepared to communicate their ideas effectively in both artistic and academic settings.


Comprehensive Portfolio Expansion
Students will work on 10 diverse pieces, each carefully planned to exhibit a range of styles, techniques, and artistic media. This variety not only strengthens the portfolio but also enables students to explore different artistic languages, demonstrating their versatility and adaptability—qualities highly sought after by top art schools.
