ADVANCED TEENS / PORTFOLIO PREP
Online (PST), in Mountain View, San Jose, and San Francisco

2 hours weekly, online: $170 monthly in-studio: $200 monthly
High-quality art materials are included into the in-studio price. No registration fee.
This course meets high standards of artistic education. It offers a college-level challenge, and it helps develop a corresponding quality of art works. Students of this course know the basics of drawing and painting*, and are now looking for perfection of their skills, or for a unique artistic voice, and for that final touch that makes good artworks great.
Upon request, we help students with high school or college art portfolio preparation.
Examples:
-
Fine Arts college portfolio of Maria Teplova (now at Calarts)
-
Fashion Design college portfolio of Anusha Sakhar (now at the New School)
-
Architecture college portfolio of Herbert Anson (starts at USC in Spring 2023)
-
SOTA high school portfolio of Maxine Sugarman (now freshman at SOTA)
Works made at the Advanced Teens classes often win art competitions.
Examples:
-
1st place at "Growing Up Asian in America"
-
National Scholastic Art Gold Medal Award & the Herblock Award for Editorial Cartoon
*All programs that cover beginner teen drawing and painting are offered as online All About Drawing / All About Painting courses, or in person at Beginner Teens in-studio classes.
We respect each creative individuality and allow students to work on projects of their personal interest at a comfortable pace. However, we often have a general theme of a class like cast drawing, live model painting, figure drawing, character & location design, digital painting, sculpting, fan art, creative composition. It's up to a student if he/she wants to join the group or work on a personal project.

We also invite college representatives for students' portfolio review.
