THE PROGRAM:
The Marie Walsh Sharpe Art Foundation Summer Seminar, is a scholarship
program (full tuition, room and board and all seminar related expenses,
excluding transportation), available nationally to artistically gifted
high school juniors (2012-13) in public and private schools. The
Summer Seminar, held on the campus of The Colorado College, Colorado Springs,
Colorado, is designed as an art institute offering an intensive visual
art studio program for the students. Three, two-week seminars will
be held this summer.
This two-week program allows each student to gain a stronger foundation
of skills and understanding in the visual arts through experiencing college-level
drawing and painting classes in a group setting. Artists-in-residence
serve as the primary instructors. The artists will provide instruction,
giving specific problems to solve and assignments to complete. Students
will live in a dormitory, eat all meals in the dining hall and have access
to all campus facilities. Sessions concerning careers in art, the
development of a portfolio, and small group discussions with artists sharing
their unique insights, technical expertise and commitment to art, will
be included. Students will also enjoy a full schedule of evening
activities. Trips are planned to draw and paint in the mountains,
visit area museums, and sightsee in the Pikes Peak area.
The National Association of Secondary School Principals has placed
this program on the National Advisory List of Contests and Activities
for 2012-2013.
