Internships
In lieu of traditional art lessons, I am offering art apprenticeships designed to teach art techniques and equip students with the skills needed to pursue art professionally. If you are not a student of mine and are 18 years old or older, you must provide ONE of the following: a digital portfolio, a website, or a social media folder showcasing your latest work.
Foundations
Middle School
This allows students to pursue their passions and provides them with the skills and vocabulary to explore the range of art mediums as well as the idea of a career in the visual arts.
Pre-Apprentice
9th - 11th Grade
Once in high school, students will continue their skill development and will be introduced to more complex techniques, and determine which art medium(s) they would like to pursue.
Apprenticeship
11th - 12th Grade
Connecting class instruction with visual art job training, this stage is pursued with the understanding that the student would like to be considered as an applicant for the VanGoat Studios NC internship.
Intern
12th Grade & Up
This is a paid position, where interns will work closely with the Art Director at VanGoat Studios NC to plan, prepare, and execute a variety of mural projects.
