Historic Yellow Springs

In this dynamic, choice-based studio course, teens take the lead as artists, exploring their unique creative voices through the Teaching for Artistic Behavior (TAB) model. Designed to foster independence, curiosity, and confidence, this class offers students a supportive space to experiment, develop new skills, and engage in meaningful artmaking.

Each session begins with a focused technique session led by a guest artist or instructor—offering hands-on instruction in a specific medium or approach such as printmaking, collage, drawing from life, or working with alternative materials. After each introduction, students can choose to incorporate the new media into their personal projects or continue working with familiar tools.

The studio is organized into distinct work areas, with tools and materials introduced through guided demonstrations. Teens are empowered to make creative decisions about subject, materials, and process while developing skills in planning, creating, reflecting, and refining their work over time.

This is a great course for creative teens who thrive in an open-ended environment, want to try new techniques, and are ready to take ownership of their artistic journey.
