Every artist knows it -there are some things that just take longer to learn how to draw. In this class, students will learn the basics of drawing complicated things, using storytelling as a vehicle for exploration. Students will learn to draw some of the most common hard-to-draw stuff: hands, feet, and eyes; people, setting, and machinery; all while learning to tell a story with their art.

Basic supplies will be available for use on site, but a suggested supply list will be provided to students so they may purchase their own supplies to be able to practice at home.

Class has been postponed.  Please check back for new dates.

Enter the fascinating world of digital art. Students will try their hand at illustration using Photoshop to draw and manipulate images to create one-of-a-kind digital art that’s as unique as they are: Future viral marketers and designers of all kinds will love this class! They’ll also learn about the origins of the media and discover how modern-day creatives use them in fine art and graphic design careers. At the end of the class,students will receive a one-year personal subscription to the Adobe Creative Cloud (a $699 value!).

Class start date has been postponed to October 2, 2021.  There is still time to register!

Do you love fall and winter seasons? Do you want to learn how to draw fallen leaves, snow, yummy turkey, Christmas decorations, and spooky skeletons? Then this is the class for you!  Students will learn how to draw illustrations, focusing on fall and winter concepts.  The course will be broken down into four sections; each section will contain basic guides to illustration and will feature tips and tricks from professional examples.  Students will have opportunities to learn real art world strategies and use them to create their own fall and winter-themed illustrations.

Supplies will be provided for student use during class.  A suggested supply list will also be given out the first day of class so students may purchase their own materials and practice at home.
