This dynamic and fun learning environment in the form of a residential summer camp workshop was developed by a former tenured graphic design associate professor who has left academia after more than 20 years of interacting with college-age students with the belief that design education should be taught at a younger age as technology, social media has advanced the recognition of the aesthetics and interest in d.i.y. This program is very different than pre-college offerings at universities. Here you can hug donkeys! It’s a disconnection experience in a rural location, just under two hours drive SW from Nashville, with farm animals and a variety of landscapes as the setting. With a maximum of eight teens in each session, they will receive authentic one-on-one coaching to dive deep into learning about graphic design. All projects and other art-related creative workshops have a nature-based and/or sustainability theme.
