The purpose of the Mount Gretna School of Art's Intensive Program is not to try and define the entirety of someone's art education but to provide a temporary, immersive, and intensive education in a specialized discipline. Our aim is to provide students with a preexisting interest in our course topics a chance to complement their education with an extended period of singular focus and depth. We liken this to the effect that a semester of cultural immersion abroad has on the fluency of a foreign language major. Our program hopes to achieve this same effect with regards to the language of painting and drawing.
