“I found out about this program through researching various precollege programs,” said Ansley. “I was drawn to the rigor of the Pratt program and loved the idea of immersing myself in the art culture of the city,”
“I am choosing between the digital illustration program and the regular illustration program,” she added.
“Fashion design is my obsession and my passion,” said Samara. “This is so exciting! I will spend an entire month both doing what I love and learning techniques and information that will help me to succeed in the future.”
An added bonus is the friendship that already exists between the two girls.
