Lyme Academy Of Fine Arts To Host Summer Art Programs

From Lyme Academy: Lyme Academy of Fine Arts is now enrolling students for four summer art programs.

“The variety of programs planned for this summer is very exciting,” said Board of Trustee member Eileen Eder. “In addition to the Pre-College Academy for high school students, which helps them improve their technical skills and portfolio development for art college applications, a fun new art camp for middle school students is being added.” The 2019 program will also include adult art programs.

The Pre-College program allows high school students with beginning to advanced art training to learn from master artists in areas such as drawing, sculpting, oil painting, animation and more.

The new Middle School Art Apprentice program offers young students the opportunity to study four of history’s greatest artists—Edgar Degas, Michelangelo, Salvador Dali and Leonardo Da Vinci—and apply their techniques to their own projects.

Adults of all skill levels are also invited to enroll in new summer workshops and master classes at Lyme Academy of Fine Arts. Students will have the opportunity to work with professional artists, build their portfolios and advance their skills in various mediums and techniques.
