arts intensive


offers students the unique opportunity to explore their creativity in small group set- tings outside the pressures of the normal academic year. Students enrolled in Arts Intensive return to campus at the beginning of September, before the start of the fall quarter. The program promotes and culti- vates experience in the arts, particularly for students who are pursuing a major other than an arts discipline. Over the course of two exciting weeks, Arts Intensive enables students to establish a strong relationship with faculty and peers around a specific area of artistic investigation and practice.


In 2012 Arts Intensive will offer eight di- verse courses. This year’s program includes courses in Acting, Modern Dance, Design Thinking, Filmmaking, Fiction Writing, Pho- tography, Opera, and Product Branding. Regardless of your major or previous arts experience, there is an Arts Intensive course for you! In addition, through field trips and other activities, the program encourages you to explore the full range of Stanford’s


many arts resources. At its best, Arts In- tensive creates an atmosphere of intense artistic exploration, encouraging collabora- tion and innovation. Faculty and student participants attest to the strong relation- ships formed in these classes and the artistic growth that arises from this partnership between students and faculty.


I encourage you, as this brochure suggests, to dive in and “access your creativity!”


Sincerely,
