5 Creativity Starts Here... The Cranbrook Summer art Institute Cranbrook, which combines some of the country s greatest artistic and architectural treasures on a campus of remarkable beauty, is the ideal place for your summer studies. Now in our sixth year, the Summer Art Institute simulates the college experience by utilizing the rich resources available at Cranbrook Academy of Art -- one of the most innovative graduate schools in the United States for fine art, design and architecture. A broad selection of courses taught by Academy artists and alumni offers the perfect opportunity to explore the studio arts for serious college-bound students as well as those with a simple curiosity about the creative process. Each three-week course meets from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Classes take place in the Academy s art studios or Central Media Lab, and feature demonstrations and instruction by practicing artists and designers. Students may enroll for one, two or all three sessions. Day trips to area galleries and professional studios are an integral part of the curriculum. Each session concludes with an exhibition of student work in the Forum Gallery at Cranbrook Academy of Art.

9 Instructors Graduate students and alumni of Cranbrook Academy of Art lead most classes. Academytrained artists have attended the country s only independent two-year MFA graduate program in fine art, architecture and design. The Academy is ranked as one of the top five graduate art schools in the nation by the US News and World Report. Individual Attention The average instructor-to-student ratio is 1:8. Classes are limited to a maximum of 15 students, so instructors have time in each six-hour day to connect one-on-one with each student. Field trips Every class goes on a field trip in the second week. Typically, several classes go together to tour area art galleries. Trips may also include visits to artist studios and/or businesses that specialize in a relevant topic for the class. Diverse Friendships Last year the Summer Art Institute enrolled students from 15 different states and three countries as well as from throughout Michigan. General fun Although the program offers an intensive art experience, there is still time to unwind and relax. Every Friday is Pizza Friday, when everyone gathers for lunch and games. Students are invited to put on a talent show as well. On hot days, improvisational water games are known to occur.
