Christine accepted to summer art program at Syracuse U.

Christine has been accepted to a two-week "Summer College" art program at Syracuse University. In late July she'll be "challenged with the same experience as that of an incoming freshman," as the program description puts it. After submitting a portfolio of artwork with her application for the course, she received word of her acceptance today. This of course made her mother and maternal grandmother, both Syracuse U. graduates, very proud!

More from the program description: "The 2-week Studio Art programs are specifically designed to inspire and challenge students to develop artistic skills under the guidance of university instructors and professional artists. Faculty from Syracuse University’s College of Visual and Performing Arts (VPA) will instruct students in Experimental Drawing, Painting, Figure Drawing, Ceramics, Sculpture and Wearable Art. Students will also work alongside peers of like mind and talent, working hands-on with art tools and materials. ..."

Christine will be taking the Figure Drawing class, plus workshops in other specialties and art history classes.
