Summer Intensive Program
Your portfolio is a visual representation of who you are. As a beginning artist or designer you need to learn the skills, concepts and language to successfully convey your ideas as a visual communicator. Find out how to connect what is inside you to what you need inside your portfolio.
Digital Summer Intensive Program
Digital technology is transforming everyday life, creative practices and cultural industries. With this rapid evolution many artists and designers are moving beyond current technologies, inventing hybrid approaches to research and studio practice. The Digital Summer Intensive Program is for students interested in investigating the combination of digital and traditional in art and design.
