Toronto School of Art's unique Youth Studio Intensive is a two-week Summer program for teens, ages 14 - 17. This program is built to encourage students to explore their imagination with a hands-on approach in traditional and contemporary methods to find their creative voice and develop technical skills in the arts. Youth Studio introduces a range of media including: drawing, life drawing, painting, sculpture, and material explorations with collage and assemblage. Excursions to museums and art galleries are an integral part of the program, as well.
Youth Studio Intensive runs July 7 to 11 and July 14 to 18 with the support of TSA Youth & Family instructors, and our Summer Youth Coordinator. Studio sessions are Monday through Thursday 9AM - 3PM, and Friday 9AM - Noon.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR | Tina Oehmsen-Clark
Having studied art and education at the University of Hamburg, Germany (Master of Fine Arts and High School Teaching Diploma), I have been working with Youths and Adults of various ages in school- and private institution settings since the early Nineties, as well as following my own art practice. Teaching has always been an important part of my being an artist -- it is not a "day job;" rather a place to exchange ideas, communicate, inspire and be inspired.
I believe that an understanding of our world, an acceptance of different cultures, and exploration of contemporary and historic art forms, and a recognition that the unknown is to be welcomed and not to be rejected are essential in creating and understanding art and culture.
In a world run by technology I find it essential, especially for tweens and teens, to explore their imagination with a hands-on approach to build a creative mind. In a praxis-oriented classroom/studio situation I show and present images and films, as well as take the students out to museums and galleries in order to connect their own work with historical and current ideas and approaches. I feel lucky and privileged to assist them in the process of understanding the importance of art and finding their own voices.
