Level 2 students continue to build on their artistic skills while exploring the creative process. They experiment with a variety of mediums and techniques, learning to generate ideas, iterate on their work, and develop their unique artistic voice. A strong emphasis is placed on process, encouraging students to take risks and embrace mistakes as part of the learning journey.
