Saturdays at Todd session draws on pop culture for live models in costume At CLA’s Saturdays at Todd program, faculty, staff, students, and off-campus artists collaborate to offer engaging workshops in a diverse range of artistic mediums. This innovative initiative, inviting participation from individuals of all ages and backgrounds, aims to foster connections with the vibrant Murfreesboro and greater Nashville community. Spearheaded by MTSU’s Department of Art and Design, these workshops are free and ensure access by providing all necessary materials to attendees. I have led several Saturdays at Todd workshops covering a wide array of topics, such as strategies for entering the illustration industry, an introduction to drawing the generic face, and delivering live demonstrations of computer-generated animations. These particular workshops ignited a sense of inspiration among our young participants, encouraging them to nurture their creative abilities. Additionally, they provided invaluable guidance to adults seeking transformative career advice.
