Fall Pre-College Programs

Fall portfolio-building programs for high school students interested in art and design.

Stamps Pre-College Programs now include Fall after-school and weekend studios, events, and workshops! Our virtual and in-person programs are offered to current high school students (grades 9 – 12) interested in building new skills for their creative pursuits, improving their portfolios, and learning more about U‑M’s Stamps School of Art & Design.

Registration for Fall 2024 is now closed. Sign up to receive information about upcoming programs or register for a pre-college info session today.

Fall Studios

Fall Studios provide opportunities for deep dives into different areas of art & design. Faculty will lead students in learning new techniques during studio sessions, and provide lectures, demonstrations, and feedback to support covered material. 

Virtual, twice-weekly afternoon programs include Digital Photography, 2D Illustration, Digital Photography, Drawing for Artists & Designers, and 4D Animation; in-person weekend workshops include Drawing Fundamentals, Watercolor Painting, and Experiments in Print.

Fall Events

Fall Events are single session opportunities for in-person creative practice. 

Explore the University of Michigan with our series of in-person Drawing on Campus sessions, held at four different U‑M museums on the Ann Arbor campus. Each week, participants will gain insider knowledge about a museum through a guided tour, then will practice their observational drawing skills by working directly from the museum’s collection. These programs are ideal for students with varied interests; art, botany, history, archeology, paleontology, and more. Participants are welcome to register for just one program or all four.

Fall Workshops

Free, virtual Fall Workshops offer students and parents in-depth opportunities for advice on getting started with college applications and portfolios (Application Prep), and learning about the opportunities available after graduation (Career Connections).
