Creative Studio and Career Exploration Workshops for High School Students
This March, the Center for Creative Exploration (CCE) at Pennsylvania College of Art & Design is offering a sampler of Saturday workshops specifically tailored to students in grades 9 – 12. These classes complement the work and creative excitement generated by the Lancaster County Young Artist and Scholastics Exhibitions that will be installed at PCA&D and at the Lancaster Museum of Art.
These workshops allow seasoned art students to dive into specific projects and build skills. These are also excellent opportunities for younger students to “test-drive” a medium or technique to help them decide future course selections or career exploration.
