New Teen Mentoring Program at Gloucester Arts on Main.

Teenage artists will be paired with mentors based on their medium of choice. In addition to one-on-one meetings between the mentor and teen, biweekly or monthly critique sessions within the medium would bring together the mentors, teens, and other local artists. These meetings would serve to review student artwork, share ideas and inspirations, and provide challenging assignments to teens, in order to help develop and intensify the student artwork. To record inspirations and various projects, teens would be strongly encouraged to keep a sketchbook or to utilize art journaling. Through these methods, student progress could be recorded and easily shared with others (by choice). Art journals and sketchbooks would also serve as personal outlets for creativity and practice.
