Visual Arts students are continuing to learn, to see, and to draw what they see through morning classes in figure drawing. In the afternoons, a longer studio session is spent working on self-portraits. There has been great progress in the students work and we are all having a great time learning about each other. Visual Arts is taught by Raúl Miyar. Raúl is a professor and the Chair of the Fine Arts/Illustration Department at the Altos de Chavón School of Design in the Dominican Republic.
