The studio program is at the core of Marwen’s mission. Each year, we offer more than 85 courses in six state-of-the-art studios. We challenge students to excel through comprehensive, in-depth instruction in a wide range of media including painting and drawing, ceramics and sculpture, printmaking, technology, and more. Professional artists teach technical art skills and encourage sophisticated, creative, and analytical thinking through instruction in art history, and criticism. Students learn through media presentations, discussions, demonstrations, visits by guest artists, and field trips. These experiences provide students with source materials for their own work and expose them to diverse ideas and art forms. Individual attention and small class sizes ensure full participation, vigorous dialogue, and personal growth. At the end of each term, students, teaching artists, and teaching assistants evaluate their courses to help guide Marwen in the development of future offerings. Teaching artists also submit one work created by each of their students to be included in an exhibition in the Susan and Steven Berkowitz Gallery. School and School Partnership Division Marwen has built school partnerships with some public schools to offer high quality visual art programs to selected students. Accompanied by their teachers, the students travel to Marwen as part of their school day to learn about making art in customized courses designed to enhance their local school programs. Students work with professional teaching artists, use high quality materials, learn art history as it applies to their course curriculum, and engage in critiques of their artwork. Marwen’s teaching model, developed through its studio program, forms the basis for a dynamic teacher program that includes training in hands-on art activities, art history, critiques, and active discussions for implementing art-making techniques in the classroom. School teachers are encouraged and trained to develop art activities for every subject and grade. |
