Are you ready to take your drawing and painting skills to the next level? Have you always wanted to draw and paint like the Old Masters but can't quit your teaching job to get full-time training? Apply for our month-long Summer Teacher Atelier today! For our inaugural year, we are accepting just 20 participants per session, into our atelier program to be held in Jersey City, NJ!

July 9 - 20, 2018: Observational Drawing Skills

Taught by Mandy Theis


This atelier intensive explores drawing and design principles.  Participants will complete a series of increasingly more difficult projects as they learn and practice complex observational skills. Projects will include working from a 19th century drawing curriculum known as the Charles Bargue Drawing Course, still lifes, and cast drawing. By increasing visual literacy through this training, participants will be able to apply new drawing skills to future projects and greatly expand their content base for their classroom practices.  Lesson plans will be provided as a resource for teachers to incorporate observational drawing skills into their curricula.

July 23 - August 3, 2018:
Oil Painting


​Taught by Mandy Theis


Explore the nuances of chroma, value, and hue through this two-week course that teaches participants how to use a full color palette to create realistic paintings. Participants will build their skills in painting through custom-tailored projects. The "Boston School" approach will be employed to teach students accurate color matching, edge work, and creating effects with paint.

All supplies will be provided.
