Drawing is the foundation of the visual arts, and anyone can learn to draw. This workshop takes a contemporary and individualized approach to the basics of drawing and offers "out-of-the-box" approaches to tackle fundamental drawing issues. Learn to render realistically using line and contour, shape and form, light and shadow, space and depth, and proportion and perspective. Get acquainted with a range of drawing materials to translate perceptions onto paper and learn the principles of composition.

Want to learn more about the world of anime/manga? Then you’ve found the right place! Students will learn about comic book-style drawing, particularly the Japanese practice of manga. This workshop will cover dynamic perspective to classic anime facial features. Effective techniques for drawing and constructing storylines will be taught, and students will begin to master their own unique style of comic art. Have fun and join the crowd of anime/manga lovers!

Portfolio Development: This workshop supports students as they develop strong habits toward creative decision-making. In this one-day workshop of intensive collaboration with the instructor, students will learn how to strengthen their techniques. Each student will end the day with at least one strong piece of artwork and an artist’s statement.
