ART:   MexArt's Art Session is a one month intensive Art, Spanish and Cultural immersion summer program. Session I is for students finishing the 10-12th grades. Session II is for students finishing the 8th through 10th grades.  

The emphasis of MexArt, of course, is Art and Spanish. Professional artists teach classes (in English) in various media. Some MexArt participants are highly talented and experienced; others may just have an interest in art. Art areas include:

Participants elect one art focus area for intensive study and studio time. Three hours a day, five days a week are set aside for instruction in this focus area. Participants also choose one or two art electives to pursue other artistic areas and may spend 5-10 hours per week in each of these areas. After two weeks, participants can re-evaluate and make a new schedule. In addition to the two electives, one-shot workshops are offered some evenings or afternoons to add diversity and spontaneity to the program.  Community service is also available in place of an art elective. 

SPANISH:  MexArt is open to individuals at the beginner Spanish level through advanced levels. Conversational Spanish classes are taught to all participants at every level.  Classes are held two hours per day, five days a week. Classes are fun!  Students practice their skills in the streets, in the artisans' market, in the main square, at the corner grocery store and through playing games. Teaching is in a non-competitive atmosphere and is geared to the individual. Teachers are bi-lingual and extremely experienced in teaching Spanish to Americans.
