Please choose up to 4 electives to help us determine which electives will be most popular this summer. Afternoon electives can be selected as a stand-alone course, or to compliment the morning foundation. A selection does not reserve a spot, however, those who have pre-registered will be automatically entered into the first enrollment period for electives. After this period, electives will be open to anyone regardless of participation in the morning fundamentals session. Youth can mix and match electives from any artistic discipline.
THE CORNISH NEIGHBORHOOD Cornish College of the Arts is located in the South Lake Union District of Seattle, a thriving and rapidly-changing neighborhood that sits at the geographical center of the city. South Lake Union is an exceptionally walk-able and hospitable neighborhood, home to many new condominiums, Amazon.com, Whole Foods, the South Lake Union streetcar, the Center for Wooden Boats, the Museum of History and Industry, and countless cafes and restaurantsSTUDENT SUPERVISION IN THE CLASSROOM Cornish strives to create a rigorous pre-college creative learning experience for young people. Faculty are oriented to the culture of the college and have been selected, in part, for their ability to challenge and nurture young minds. While most learning will take place on the Cornish campuses, the College believes in the importance of experiential education and some faculty may have their students working in the urban environment taking photographs, drawing, and gathering inspiration. In these instances, they will be accompanied by the faculty member or traveling in small groups. STUDENT CONDUCT Cornish maintains a zero tolerance policy for all illegal activities, including possession or use of drugs or alcohol, or firearms, whether on or off the Cornish campus. At the discretion of the College, any student in violation of policies or otherwise creating an unsafe or unproductive climate may result in such sanctions as a warning or immediate dismissal. ATTENDANCE Cornish coursework will be intensive and rigorous, both physically and intellectually. Students will be expected to work at a quick clip to create multiple works for exhibition or performance. The fruits of their labor will be important to the development of the emerging artist as well as the college portfolio. Students are expected to arrive to all classes on time and attendance is critical. If an emergency presents itself and the student will be absent or tardy, he /she is encouraged to call 1-800-726-ARTS or extension@cornish.edu
