Mentorship Program
with Karis

Begin an exciting journey of artistic collaboration with st-Art curators! Together we will create a captivating series of artworks showcasing your unique style and creativity. With our project-building course, you’ll receive expert guidance in identifying a concept that aligns with your artistic vision and get full support throughout creating 4 to 5 paintings that reflect that concept. when your project is complete, we’ll be right there with you to assist in promoting and exhibiting your exceptional artwork to the world. So, let’s join forces and create something truly unique together!

STEPS:

1. Brainstorming with Artist
2. 
   
   1. Artist Portfolio review (our mentors will review your previous artworks. Based on the level you are at, we will decide whether or not you need to enroll in our beginners Painting/Drawing course, to advance your skills. If we see that you already have the skillset to become an Artist, you know how to work your mediums and have advanced drawing techniques then your application to the course will be successful)
   2. Subject/Concept establishment (our mentors will dig into your ideas, inspirations and ambitions to create a subject/concept for your personal project) 
   3. Mind Map Development around theSubject/Concept (once the concept/subject has been decided, together we will create a mind map of all the possibilities for a series of Artworks. Bare in mind we ask you to lose all fear at the door! The more personal the project is, the better the outcome as an inspiring Artist)
   4. Research on artists, this will be mandatory homework (research your favourite artists and tell us what it is that attracts you to their work.)
   5. Further development of the mind map (add anymore details if needed)
