About TAIP 2016
NBAM/ArtWorks! is pleased to celebrate their 12th year of the Teen Artist Internship Program. TAIP's goal is to inspire and educate high school juniors and seniors interested in pursuing a career in the visual arts. Their program provides budding young artists the opportunity to experience what it's like to maintain a personal studio and work on projects that require patience and dedication, two key components in becoming a successful artist. The relationship that forms between student and mentor as they create art together and share creative experiences is one of growth, learning, and friendship.

Kate-Lynne Rapoza During my time working with my mentor, Diane Arvanites, I learned a lot about art and about myself as an artist. My Experience has made me look forward to pursuing a career in art even more. I learned technical skills such as how to stretch and prepare a canvas. I learned how to tie my foreground into my background as well as separate it using a variety of techniques while unifying multiple pieces of work to form a whole. My time with Diane has been very productive and an enjoyable experience. |

My project started as a small thought and became an inspired installation. I developed a cohesive theme around the metaphor of life with my mentor's guidance. The bow and arrow are universal symbols for struggles we all face that people can connect with and interpret individually. The dark pensive self-portrait represents constant struggle but also the willingness to carry on. The bow will always propel us forward regardless of what we hit on the way. I have grown as an artist by participating in the TAIP Program. I learned how to better manage my time and planning for my sculpture and about the lives and studios of surrounding community artists. I would 100% suggest the Teen Artist Internship Program for any young artist aspiring to choose art as their future path.
