Teens can still enjoy one more week of the Teen Art Intensive, a free summer arts program funded through a grant from the City of Cambridge and encompassing the Maryland Arts Standards. The final week will be Aug. 14-Aug. 18, for youth entering 9th-12th grade.

Students will start the week focusing on MD Standards 1 and 2, experimenting with thematic materials and looking at historical and contemporary examples for their artwork. Mid-week students will begin to add Standard 3 into their work, looking at the finishing of a piece and how to critique their work.

For the end of the week, students will focus on Standards 4-8 finalizing pieces, deciding on exhibition worthiness, creating artist statements, and practicing curatorial skills. Call or register online at dorchesterarts.org.
