DSTL Arts provides mentorship in the visual arts to young illustrators, painters, and photographic storytellers enrolled in our Arts Mentorship Program while also teaching skills and offering guidance for entering careers in the fine arts and photography sectors.
Meeting a minimum of once a week, or 1.5 hours, our students develop their visual storytelling skills by working one-on-one or in small groups with an Arts Mentor who will guide them through various visual storytelling ideas and tools, including visual metaphor, form and composition, theme, narrative structure and idea development. We also focus on critical art theory and content curation, leading to either publication and/or presentation of a collection of visual art.
Visual arts students in our Arts Mentorship Program will have multiple opportunities to present their art at public events throughout their mentorship, including our annual student art showcase, where DSTL Arts students typically debut completed artworks in a group show format.
The benefits of joining our Arts Mentorship Program as a Visual Arts student include:
Enrollment in our Arts Mentorship Program lasts for a minimum of one year, and may continue for students who show true dedication to their craft. Students enrolled in our program must meet our eligibility criteria at their time of enrollment.
