THE TALENT AND CREATIVITY OF STUDENTS AND FACULTY, COMBINED WITH THE MYSTIQUE OF THE QUARTZ MOUNTAIN AREA IN SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA, CREATE A POWERFUL SYNERGY. EXPECTED OUTCOMES OF OSAI INCLUDE: 1) DURING THE TWO WEEKS, STUDENTS WILL FOCUS INTENSIVELY ON THEIR OWN ARTISTIC DISCIPLINE WHILE GAINING A HEIGHTENED AWARENESS OF AND APPRECIATION FOR OTHER ART FORMS; 2) SMALL CLASS SIZES WILL ENSURE A TRUE MENTOR RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STUDENTS AND WORLD-RENOWNED FACULTY ARTISTS WITH WHOM THEY WOULD NOT OTHERWISE HAVE THE CHANCE TO WORK; 3) STUDENTS WILL DEVELOP CONNECTIONS THAT RESULT IN LONG-TERM FRIENDSHIPS AND A NATIONWIDE NETWORK; 4) STUDENTS WILL SHOW IMPROVED CONFIDENCE AFTER THE PROGRAM AND A CLEARER UNDERSTANDING OF THE DISCIPLINE REQUIRED TO SUCCEED IN THEIR CHOSEN ART FORM; 5) STUDENTS WILL BECOME FUTURE AUDIENCE MEMBERS AND SUPPORTERS OF THE ARTS, AND THEY WILL GAIN AN APPRECIATION AND UNDERSTANDING OF ALL ART FORMS; 6) BY PROVIDING PERFORMANCES, LECTURES AND DEMONSTRATIONS THAT ARE FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, OSAI WILL PROMOTE AWARENESS OF AND INTEREST IN THE ARTS BY ALL OKLAHOMANS, PARTICULARLY THOSE RESIDING IN SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA.
