Grades & Student Skill Level: Open to grades 9-12; 8th grade students may also be considered for the program with recommendation from an art teacher, mentor, CTAC faculty, and/or after portfolio review. Contact maren@crookedtree.org for detailed. Homeschooled students are also welcome! This is a portfolio class open to any high school students wanting to be creative and build their skills; this is not just for kids currently enrolled in AP art at school or interested in Art College following graduation- open to all students!

Are you an emerging artist who wants to take your creative development to the next level? Join us for the fourth year of this exciting 11-week high school program, ideal for students interested in upping their art game, building a portfolio for art university, or who simply love art and want more art instruction! Unlike other art classes, class time will be spent diving deep into a variety of materials for their projects, including: drawing, painting, printmaking, etc. Each student will be able to identify a specific direction for their work should they choose. There will also be time spent sharing our work and building a collaborative atmosphere through the art of regular, constructive critique peer-to-peer as well as teacher led. The program culminates in an exciting group art show held at CTAC in the Spring!

Scholarships are Available! Need-based and merit-based scholarships can be awarded; and may cover up to 80% tuition! To apply for a financial scholarship, click here to fill out the form and turn it into CTAC. To be considered for a merit-based scholarship, contact Kristi Wodek at kristi@crookedtree.org to schedule a portfolio review and interview.

  • All materials included; students are encouraged to bring their own supplies if they wish.
  • New projects every week!

Royce Deans

Royce Deans was born of parents that understood the important role that art plays in society and how crucial exposure to and participation is to the development of a young person. He was raised in the western suburbs of Chicago with access to museums and concert halls of every variety. Graduating from the American Academy of Art in Chicago gave him the foundation to build a life in the arts.

“Moving to Traverse City some four decades ago set his art on a wonderful trajectory. He counts each artistic endeavor as a rich experience that has shaped him into the artist he is today. Northern Michigan is such an incredibly beautiful place, the landscape has, of course, become an overwhelming source of inspiration.

Royce’s love for teaching and art has allowed him to travel far and wide. His artwork is in collections public and private in the US and in many of the countries of Western Europe, Israel. Highlights of his travels have been presenting classes, workshops, and retreats.
