At The Studio in a School Gallery
February 25, 2025 – April 18, 2025
Studio Institute is proud to present Artists Rising 2025: Visions from the Teen Studio. This exhibition showcases artwork created during the Fall 2024 Studio Intensives, Studio Institute’s free Saturday art workshops. Studio Intensives consisted of two courses, Portfolio Development and Painting.
These intensive workshops are a point of convergence where 47 young artists from 10 New York City public high schools create and share artworks. Led by Artist Instructors and our Teen Programs staff, the classes provide individual guidance and support teens’ college goals and artistic development.
The Portfolio Development Intensive is designed to develop drawing techniques needed for admission to art colleges. Students explored materials including charcoal, graphite, and oil pastels, and created artworks of still lives, figure drawings, cityscapes, and portraits. These drawings on display demonstrate the teens’ observations and viewpoints: blending colors and exploring mark-making, movement, and visual texture.
In the Painting Intensive, teens produced rich, dimensional acrylic paintings featuring still lives, landscapes, and portraits. Throughout the course, students learned to utilize advanced painting techniques, such as creating paint layers, color mixing, color theory, and managing paint palettes.
Congratulations to the teen artists and our Artist Instructors. We are honored to share these artworks by our rising young artists.
