Alongside its Chavón Summer International workshops, the Altos de Chavón School of Design will also be having its regular 3 day Intensive courses designed to develop student technique and creativity. These courses, which begin on Monday, August 7th, will cover a variety of topics among which you’ll find Graphic Design, Interior Design, Photography, Merchandising and more!
The program is focused on providing instruction on specific skills and general content related to art and design. They are open to young high school students, university students, young professionals, hobbyists and people interested in art and design. Since the courses are intensive, classes are held for 6 hours each day for three days— a total of 18 hours. Typically, classes run from 9am to 12pm, they break from 12pm to 2pm and begin once again from 2pm to 5pm. This is a typical schedule, sometimes there are changes depending on the course and instructor. The cost of these courses is only RD$8,000 and include housing so that you can get the full Chavonero experience!
THERE’S STILL TIME TO ENROLL. We encourage you to give the school a call or visit to sign-up before the spots are all filled! The Altos de Chavón offices are located right above the Mercadito, where you’ll find more details about the workshops including who the professors will be. We guarantee it’s one of the best activities you can do this summer! Find below the courses the school will be offering and also a gallery with more detail on each of them.
