<p>I'm a junior deciding which summer program would provide the BEST art education so that I can strengthen my portfolio.
I'm not going to go to an art school for college but I will definetly continue it at whatever university I end up at.</p>
<p>Art Institute of Chicago....Parsons... any suggestions?
Does anyone know anything about the School of Art at Washington U St Louis?</p>
<p>Carnegie Mellon's summer art program is supposed to be really strong.</p>
<p>I second the CMU program, as well as Pratt in NYC</p>
<p>thanks for the advice, i'll look into it</p>
<p>The Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in Baltimore has a terrific month-long summer program. Our high school -- with a very strong studio program -- has sent several kids annually. The dorms are suites and make a nice introduction to college life, too. Wherever you choose, you better get going on your applications!</p>
<p>ici's right about the application thing - spaces fill up!</p>
<p>RISD has a very good pre-college program.</p>
