<p>I didn't take my school's foundation art class until my sophomore year. Fortunately, they let me skip to intro to art studio this year and will also let me take an independent study to develop a portfolio for AP Art Studio (couldn't fit the actual class into my schedule). My concentration will be 2D painting with origami collage. Because I have such limited experience with art, I was hoping to take an art class or two over the summer to develop my techniques.</p>
<p>Are there any reasonably priced (<1000) summer programs for this?
Preferably in NYC (I would be a commuter and save residential fees).</p>
<p>are you now soph or now junior? are you in 5 boroughs or vicinity?
Cooper Union’s pre college is always free including materials. 4 weeks or 6 weeks.
had to pass their in-person review done on spring, I will post when I know when.
you’d need back-up plan, cooper is hard to get in.
Joan Mitchel foundation and Queens museum also do similar free classes. there will be announcment who won the arts grants soon, other than Cooper, it’s all up to outside $$$ they’d receive to run free or low cost classes for those organizations.</p>
<p>how about it! they are trying…
thou I spotted typo already, be sure to check and double check date/ time/ place.
It is Cooper thing, just saying…</p>

<p>AIB’s Young Artist in Residency Program was a great introduction not only to the demands of Art School, but also college life. Also, students were busy, 16 hours per day, and weekends were booked. I liked that. It made me feel more comfortable sending a 16/17 year old away for a month.</p>
<p>there was a very contradicting experience posted here about AIB. it sounded plain awful. you don’t have to believe everything but might want to check it out.
it is cheaper than others thou, I think.
^^so you like fender guitar? parent? what model do you got?</p>
<p>As for AIB, the program was full, the course choices were quite good. IMO, it was as-advertised. It’s not for everyone, but it met my goals for my daughter. It was boot-camp life, paralleling what a foundation year in art school would be like, rather than a coddling approach to build brand-affiliation. It was brutal, in terms of focus and content and let my daughter see if this was for her or not. And two, it kept them busy. Just enough time to get showered and sleep. Some time on Sunday, trips on Saturday (and sometimes Sunday too).</p>
<p>Friday Mar 18, 2011, 5:00 PM -6:30 PM
Ruth and Harold D Uris center for Education, ground floor

This event is free so bring a friend and enjoy the museum until it closes at 9:00PM!</p>
<p>bears’ 2 cents
^^ it is too skippy juvenile-y for real serious summer class info session and basically reps from every museums in NYC are there to do meet and greet.
but hey, it’s free and raffle to win goody bags. maybe new way to fish paying customer (parents)
There should be free classes and internships, usually asks art theme essay, transcript ( at least B-sh average) and rec letter.
bigger institution is more selective. once you get your foot in the door(literally) just like real museum jobs, you’d slave first but slowly and surely get to do fun stuff.
thou not like McDonald or Walmart, you’d still need college degree for real hi up job.
It would be true success story if HS intern’s gonna become eventually director of the Met and live in the mansion across from it.
if snobby trustees boards gonna allow something like that in the future, then they can really say their new sell line trying to be friend to everyday folks
“it is time we met”</p>
<p>and I will be living in the maid’s room in my kid’s met 5th Ave mansion rent free…
manga! drama!</p>
