WHAT IS PRE-COLLEGE PROGRAM?
Pre-college programs for art and design offer strategically designed curriculums and trainings that mirror the academic environment of the most current and sought-after colleges and institutions to help prepare the students to secure their future in higher learning platforms. From portfolio building to exhibition and product showcase experiences, there are a lot of prerequisites and information that is often unavailable for many prospective students. Our curriculum is a robust method of teaching that is truly derived from the best program experiences that allows for the growth and preparation needed to take the next step towards your career.
Basic Workshop
This program is intended to raise curiosity and diversify interest in art by directly exposing the students to various industry insights and trends through workshops and guest speakers.
In this program, students will be presented with daily themes and activities, and the instructors will organically guide them to venture out and explore different areas of interests.
By monitoring the students daily, instructors will identify their strengths and tendencies to better guide them towards the right direction.
The underlying theme of this program is to showcase the realm of possibilities in art. Our instructor team acting as a prism of sort to provide a wider spectrum and view into the diverse art industry.

Portfolio Prep Course (Pre-College Program)
The advanced program deals with higher learning with customized plans for individual students designed to strategically target specific areas of study or interest.
The enrollment process requires portfolio reviews and verbal interviews to identify and assess the area of interest and skill levels.
The students will have to think about career paths, school options, and requirements and processes for admissions to specific schools, with the guidance and support from our team. (Note: many art schools and design institutes have different requirements for portfolios for admission.)
In addition to daily workshops, one of the most important part of our training comes from ‘critsʼ, which are occasional open critique sessions where students and the instructors discuss and explore their work. We strongly believe this will open doors for a profound and engaging learning experience while learning to face the constructive criticism and comments that fuel the advancement into the reality of the industry.
Students will learn to defend, adapt and learn from various feedback, while being empowered to do so. Also, good verbal presentation skills are paramount in the design and art industry, and this class will further enhance those abilities.
