One River School has developed a unique Portfolio Development Program for motivated Teens that approach to Art and Design education. Based on years of research, our program provides compelling teen students with the most comprehensive and current understanding of contemporary art practices. Students will work with their instructor to analyze & evaluate the work they are developing in class, independently and through a second One River Advanced Class. Collectively the program will conver contemporary approaches of art making, how best to establish a competent portfolio & artist statement, and how to articulate the personal motivation behind their art. As a result, each student will be guided to establish a unique & comprehensive body of work which demonstrates an experimentation with materials, ideas and an overall approach to art making that is investigative, ambitious and individualized.
