On any given day during In the Making: Summer at MoMA, students can be found engaging in debates about the definition of art; listening attentively to a curator, artist, or film director discuss his or her artistic process; hopping on the subway for an exclusive visit to a movie set, artist's studio, or architecture firm; or concentrating intently on creating their own artwork. Needless to say it is a packed summer.

Part of The Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Education and Research Program at The Museum of Modern Art, In the Making: Summer at MoMA engages high school students in an exploration of modern and contemporary art through a unique integration of art-making, observation, writing, and discussion in one of five classes: architecture, design, film and video, printmaking, and a new mixed media class. Throughout the summer, each class combines studio activities and ongoing dialogue with artists and MoMA staff, field trips throughout the city, special tours of the Museum's collection, writing exercises, and expert art instruction from MoMA educators. Students draw from these discussions and field trips as inspiration for their own innovative studio work.

This online collection reflects the sophistication and creativity of the student work produced throughout In the Making: Summer at MoMA.
