Unlocking the Artistic Potential – SCAD Rising Stars at WISS

Designed to provide CP SCAD students with a unique and enriching experience, the SCAD Rising Stars programme offers students the chance to immerse themselves in the vibrant campus life of SCAD during the summer between their 11th and 12th-grade years. This innovative initiative allows these talented individuals to complete two university-level courses, completing their IBCP SCAD requirements.

By spending time on the SCAD campus, CP SCAD students gain access to the institution’s renowned resources and have the opportunity to work closely with esteemed SCAD professors. This valuable exposure not only enhances their academic and creative skills but also provides them with a glimpse of the dynamic environment they will encounter as they transition from high school to university.

The SCAD Rising Stars programme also fosters a sense of community, enabling students to
connect with like-minded peers who share their passion for art and design. This collaborative experience, coupled with the guidance and mentorship of SCAD faculty, serves as a powerful catalyst for the participants’ personal and professional growth.

This year one WISS student, Tabitha will be attending the Rising Stars programme. She recently landed in Savannah, and we wish her all the best for what promises to be a challenging but fruitful summer.

Through this groundbreaking initiative, SCAD and WISS are redefining the future of art education, empowering the next generation of innovators and visionaries. By providing CP SCAD students with this unparalleled opportunity, they are laying the foundation for a future where creative excellence and academic rigor converge, unlocking the boundless potential of artistic minds.

释放艺术潜能:西华的SCAD新星计划

SCAD新星计划旨在为职业教育项目的SCAD学生提供独特而丰富的经历,让学生有机会在11年级和12年级的暑假期间融入萨凡纳艺术设计学院充满活力的校园生活。这一创举使这些有才华横溢的学生能够完成两门大学水平的课程,达到国际文凭职业教育项目SCAD的要求。

通过在萨凡纳艺术设计学院校园的学习,职业教育项目的SCAD学生可以接触到学校远赴盛名的资源,并有机会与萨凡纳艺术设计学院的著名教授密切合作。这种宝贵的机会不仅能提高他们的学术和创作技能,还能让他们领略到从高中升入大学时将会遇到的充满活力的环境。

SCAD新星计划还培养了一种社区意识,使学生能够与志同道合的同龄人建立联系,分享他们对艺术和设计的热情。这种合作体验,加上萨凡纳艺术设计学院教师的指导和提点,
对参与者的个人和职业成长起到了强大的催化作用。

今年,西华的一名学生Tabitha将参加“新星计划”。她最近刚到萨凡纳,我们祝愿她在这个充满挑战但获益良多的夏天一切顺利。

通过这一开创性的举措,萨凡纳艺术与设计学院和西华正在重新定义艺术教育的未来,培养下一代创新者和富有远见的预见者的能力。通过为职业教育项目SCAD的学生提供这一无与伦比的机会,他们为未来奠定了基础,使卓越的创造力与严谨的学术研究相融合,释放艺术思维的无限潜能。
