Mount Mercy Academy's Department of Fine Arts is proud to announce a new "Arts" clinic for Mercy students and incoming freshmen.

Students have the opportunity to work with well-qualified artists and art instructors to create drawings and paintings during the camp. The subject matter of the artwork will be from life as to enhance their observational skills. Students will be instructed in various drawing and painting media and techniques. This is an excellent preparatory course for any student interested in pursuing a Portfolio Preparation or Advanced Placement Studio in Art course at Mount Mercy Academy in the future. Incoming freshmen are encouraged to attend to get a head-start at MMA.

The clinic will be held June 26 - July 18, 2012 at Mount Mercy Academy. The clinic runs for 4 weeks, two nights per week, from 6-7:30 pm.


Total cost for the clinic is $160, ($20 per class).

The MMA Department of Fine Arts will organize a student exhibition and reception, of the work completed during this clinic, in the new Mount Mercy Academy Art Gallery for students, family, friends, MMA staff, MMA administration and art teachers in September 2012.

"Mount Mercy has positively changed my life forever. Through the inviting community, I was able to grow as a woman, as a daughter, as a friend, and as a member of society. Throughout my time here I have gained an education in both academic areas and life in general through the school's ongoing efforts to educate students on gender inequality, racial injustice, and environmental crisis'. Furthermore, Mercy has given me the space to gain confidence that 4 years ago I never would have guessed I would have. Mount Mercy has helped me take that initial step toward becoming the strong woman of color I am today. At Mercy you are more than just a student, you are whoever you wish to be."

"My future, success, and the ability to be an empowered woman in society come from Mount Mercy. My school is a strong foundation for my role in life. From attending Mount Mercy, I can say with confidence, that I will graduate with the mindset that I can accomplish anything. Mercy is my home and my sanctuary to be whoever I want. Mount Mercy has been bringing forth generations of strong intellectual women into the world, and I am more than honored to be one of them. Mercy teaches girls more than academics, but also about the world around us. As a mercy community, we give back to the world because it is our home. From my four years at Mercy, I have been educated on pushing for equality and peace and the understanding that there is no limit to what I can do. I have the confidence to go out in the world and make a difference because being a Mercy girl has given me that opportunity. "

"Mercy is more than just a school. Mercy is my second home and a shoulder to lean on. Mount Mercy has given me the confidence and resources to pursue my passions and make the world a more inclusive place, propelling me to take strides into male-dominated fields. Mercy blessed me with an environment to grow intellectually and in the community, giving me the foundation to make a tangible impact while making lifelong friendships."
