Avenue1 is an Academy of Higher Learning with an Art & Design Department. Our program is fairly new and most of the students are talented but still learning the foundations of each discipline.
For our standard fine arts workshops we currently go through three dimensional drawing, color, collage, and three dimensional building. Then if a student wishes to be involved in our portfolio classes, they work primarily on portfolio projects.
We are seeking an experienced artist to help build portfolios for our students. Each student is looking to get into one of the top design institutes in the nation so it is important that you are confident of your skills and ability.
