ART PRACTICE
CCS Art Practice students build conceptual and critical skills that focus on materials, form, content, history, theory and process.

Art Practice seniors and juniors have semi-private studios with 24 hr access- which allows for the development of a signature body of work as professional artists. Students begin to exhibit their work locally in the vibrant art scene in Detroit and are exposed to a global network of artists and creative professionals, who provide significant models of successful careers as artists, creative entrepreneurs, educators and more.
