High school students, transfer students, and non-traditional students interested in learning more about Harcum College’s Art & Design majors are invited to join the college for an immersive Art & Design Experience on Thursday, April 8 at 6 PM.

This virtual event is hosted by the Admissions team, who will answer any questions about majoring in an Art & Design program at Harcum College.

Attendees can complete one of the following projects taught by Harcum’s talented Art & Design faculty. All essential/specialty materials will be provided in a kit that will be mailed to participants in advance of the event.

Fashion: Learn the traditional art Japanese art of Shibori using indigo dyes and intricate wrapping and tying techniques to make a 15” x 60” gauze scarf. The indigo-dyed look has been taking over the runways this season, from MSGM to Louis Vuitton to Stella McCartney.

Graphic Design: Create a unique and personalized cover for a sketchbook. You may choose from printmaking, collage, and stencil art techniques. Workshop includes demonstrations from the program director’s design and letterpress studio, highlighting typography and printing techniques.

Interior Design: Experience a guided painting practice that focuses on bringing positivity into your life. Through the process of layering, you will paint your way through the muck and create a personal mandala, a visual symbol that moves from left brain to right, logical to intuitive, and linear to creative.

Photography: Take part in a sun printing (cyanotype) workshop, which is a photographic process using sun, water, common objects, and your imagination, requiring special paper called sun paper, which is specially treated to be ready for printing.
