Portfolio Development II (12-17 yrs) - Dave Hotstream

This 12-week course is for students aged 12-17 who have either completed the first Portfolio Development course at NOAFA, or students who already have a firm understanding of the core fundamentals of 2-dimensional art and wish to continue their studies at a higher level. Students who have successfully completed Portfolio 1 will be automatically accepted to this course. Students who have previously studied elsewhere should submit photos of at least three artworks and a brief statement to davehotstream@gmail.com for approval.

The course will build on students' skills and knowledge as they work through more advanced projects in drawing and painting in a variety of mediums, with a strong focus on working from observation. Students who intend to apply to an institution like NOCCA or to a college art program should complete this class with a number of finished works suitable for presentation in a portfolio, but any student who is serious about improving their artistic skills is welcome.

All necessary art supplies and materials are included with this course.
