The ACE program is designed to provide educators with an opportunity to advance their personal artwork and refresh their teaching amidst a community of like-minded individuals at the graduate level. The graduate level assumes that the student has mastered the art fundamentals of drawing, design, techniques, color, form and materials, possesses a knowledge of art history and theory, and is ready to apply these principles to the process of developing a unique artistic voice.
