Summer Art Institute Hilo

...a summer of Fabulous Moving Art

Program Overview

The 6 week-end Saturday/Sunday dates for SAiH June 24/25; July 1 and 2, 8/9, 15/16, 22/23, 29/30

  • ART 100 Intro Studio Seminar (3)
  • ART 300 Intermed Studio Seminar (3)

Each course (ART 100/300) in this concurrent offering requires a minimum enrollment of 12 students.

Instruction will be shared by the cohort of SAiH faculty.  Each faculty will be required to conduct:

  • Six (6) 2.5 hour Saturday studio instructional labs

…and participate in

  • Six (6) 2.5 hour Sunday group review/discussions

Historically we have been allowed to combine ART 100/300 to reach minimum enrollment.  In this instance, each faculty would be responsible for 1 credit summer teaching.

If each section (ART 100 and 300) reaches minimum enrollment, each faculty would be responsible for 2 credits of summer teaching.

Either way…a total of 5 hours split between Sat/Sun for a run of 6 weeks June 24 – July 30, 2017.
