Advanced Studies
The culmination of our sequential curriculum, Advanced Studies provides the richest, most varied learning environment possible, with:
College-level classes, with access to our equipment and labs outside of class time
Intensive small group and 1:1 mentoring from professional artists, including peer-to-peer and artist-to-student critique, support for portfolio and reel development, and support for applications for awards, competitions, and film festivals
Opportunities to exhibit or screen works at venues such as Photo L.A.
Opportunities to work on special client media projects
“ Venice Arts opened my eyes to the art world and the possibility of making art my career, not just a hobby. The Advanced Photo class in particular gave me the skills I needed to create a cohesive body of work... From this I was able to create a professional portfolio which I used to apply to college, and which I will use in the future when applying for jobs.”
