I THINK I’LL TAKE A RISD|CE CLASS, BUT . . .

What’s your roadblock? I CAN’T DRAW.

IT’S WINTER. I LIKE TO HUNKER DOWN.

That’s a common fear! RISD|CE’s beginning-level courses are taught by expert and supportive instructors who are eager to help you get started on your adventures in thinking about, making and looking at art. And this winter, we have a new course just for you: In the aptly titled Not an Artist? (page 8), you’ll be encouraged to open up and experiment with drawing, color studies and collage.

Thwart your hibernation tendencies by learning a new skill and making new friends. Woodworkers (and shoe lovers!) put techniques to practice by learning to make wooden shoes in Making Clogs (page 17). Inventors and innovators receive guidance in The Creative Entrepreneur (page 19). Young artists bring the great masters to life in a theatrical way in the vacation camp Master Pieces: An Exploration of Art + Theater (page 37).

I DON’T HAVE TIME.

We’ve simplified our winter schedule. Full-term courses meet only once a week, giving you time for assignments and (dare we say it?) shoveling snow. If that’s still too much for you, consider taking one of our weekend workshops, for a complete course experience in a single weekend.

New courses have a icon at the top of the course descriptions. This winter, clear the obstacles in your path to creativity! Challenge yourself, carve out some “me” time and learn a new skill at RISD|CE.

CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS Although any course in this publication may be taken for personal or professional enrichment, many may also be taken as part of a certificate program. Most RISD | CE certificate programs encompass a specific body of knowledge and practice that prepares candidates for rewarding positions in art and design fields. A background in art and design is helpful, but not necessary for any of these programs. Complete program information, Certificate Program Guides, advisor biographies, forms and policies may be found in the Certificate Programs section of ce.risd.edu.

Who May Enroll Courses are open to anyone interested in pursuing certificate subject matter for professional or personal growth. Certificate programs address specific professional training needs of adult students, many of whom have college and professional experience, but want to upgrade their skills or make a career change. Certificate program courses prepare students for work in their chosen fields, and part-time evening study allows people with career or family commitments to come back to school. Non-certificate students may take certificate courses provided they meet applicable prerequisites.

Evan Villari, Advisor

Amy Wynne, Advisor

Telling stories using the technology-rich vocabulary of film, animation and video gives one a unique opportunity to express a creative vision. This certificate program provides students with a fast-paced curriculum designed to give novices access to the field, as well as studies for forward-thinking professionals who want to keep pace with technological advances. As they participate in an interdisciplinary program of study, students choose from a wide range of courses that recognize different styles, methods and project workflow. Upon completion, students will be fluent with the moving image as a means of expression, and its unlimited potential as a business platform.

Within the context of a structured studio environment, students develop critical skills in drawing and painting, and explore the intimate relationship between the two. The curriculum provides a solid foundation in depicting the subject and its setting, while providing tools for experimentation and self-expression. Participants develop confidence and competency with diverse techniques, and learn how to link them to conceptual concerns. The result is the ability to visually represent any subject, to develop one’s own personal visual language and to become self-directed to work independently as an artist.

FOUNDATION Basic Drawing ages 18+ | FOUND-1187 | Robin Wiseman

ages 18+ | FOUND-1186 | Carlotta Miller

Drawing is the simplest, most efficient and most accessible way to communicate visual ideas. This course focuses on development of hand-eye coordination – required for all perceptual drawing – to understand how to look and how to transcribe what is seen onto paper. Students begin by learning to define shapes with line, including exploration of line weight, direction and speed and then move on to value, investigating both additive and reductive ways of working and how to utilize the power of light and dark to create volume and space. As confidence builds, progress is made into more complicated subject matter and working out compositional decisions and strategies. Tools utilized include pencil, charcoal and eraser. Subjects include still life, architecture/space and a brief introduction to the figure.

Color is one of the most powerful – and complex – tools at the artist’s disposal. Bridging the divide between color theory and color practice, this studio course distills the essentials of color mechanics into workable studies and projects. Students explore color through creative exercises using collage and paint to understand color and how to use it effectively. Explorations of the role of light, the psychological impact of color, and how such factors as hue, value and intensity affect design are integral to the learning. Slide-illustrated presentations address the historical background of the use of color. Through the process of experiencing the interface of color theory and color application, guidelines toward developing a personal palette are discussed. Mastery of color is essential in the work of artists, illustrators, craftspeople and designers, making this course an ideal starting point.

DRAWING + ILLUSTRATION Not an Artist? ages 18+ | DWG-0523 | Suzette Cozzens

Portrait Drawing ages 18+ | DWG-2206 | Robin Wiseman

You don’t need to know how to draw or be an artist to take this course – in fact, the less you know, the better! A common misconception, that you need to have experience in art to take RISD|CE courses, was the impetus for this course. It starts with the simplest of tasks and tools, and slowly illuminates the mystery of materials and the triumph of the well-chosen tool in creating work. Students’ eyes are trained to look, to observe and to record. Work is done in drawing, color studies and collage through a series of exercises that encourage students to open up and experiment. Work is done in a variety of mediums – with less focus on subject, and more on interpreting and abstracting to fully comprehend basic shapes and structures. We do all of this in a supportive environment, with an open mind being the only prerequisite. Students are free to fail, but are required to at least try. The hardest part is just starting!

Capturing a likeness of the human face has intrigued artists throughout history. Explore this fascinating process by learning to translate your observations of structure, proportion and the relationships among visual elements onto the two-dimensional page. Students also examine how the artist reveals personality traits while capturing the physical likeness on paper. The course bases its investigation of technique and approach on the work of both Old Masters and contemporary artists. Both composition and expressiveness are emphasized, and students are encouraged to develop their own personal style.

Sundays, Jan 10 – Feb 14 | 9am-12pm 6 sessions | 18 contact hours | tuition $345 | lab fee $35

Human Anatomy ages 18+ | DWG-2240 | Amy Wynne | This course provides many tools for the artist who wishes to depict the human form with confidence and precision. Various conceptual models are used that allow for the presentation of the figure from any point of view, combining structural and muscular systems into a dynamic whole. By coding the movements of the joints, plotting anatomical landmarks on the volumes of the figure, establishing a proportional system, and uniting exterior contour with interior anatomical structures, students develop a set of figurative principles that can be applied to any figure in any position. Working from live models, students arrive at a fusion of the conceptual figurative model with observations from life. Artists at all levels of experience stand to benefit from this course. Applies to: CB-E, DS-E, NS-E At Tillinghast Farm | Thursdays, Jan 7 – Feb 11 | 9am-12pm 6 sessions | 18 contact hours | tuition $345 | model fee $25

Applies to: CB-E, DS-E, NS-E Tuesdays, Jan 12 – Feb 16 | 7-10pm 6 sessions | 18 contact hours | tuition $345 | model fee $35

Advanced Figure Drawing ages 18+ | DWG-0521 | Amy Wynne | For those with experience drawing from the figure who want an integrated studio course focusing on more developed and informed drawings, this course helps you take your figure drawing to the next level. The figure is considered as both a form and volume in space, with gesture, sequential movement and spatial concepts as essential aspects of the learning. Introduction to the fundamentals of human anatomy allows students to conceptualize the body from different angles and explore a variety of poses and sequences, including dramatic foreshortening and multiple points of view. Students ultimately learn to compose figures in context with attention paid to building dynamic compositions. Applies to: DS-E Prerequisite: Figure Drawing or equivalent At Tillinghast Farm | Thursdays, Jan 7 – Feb 11 | 1-4pm 6 sessions | 18 contact hours | tuition $345 | model fee $25

Idea Lab ages 18+ | DWG-2695 | Lisa Perez Brilliant people seemingly pull ideas out of thin air. Most people, however, need tools. This course helps to illuminate the structure, play and complexity of the creative process. Methods of generating, collecting and elaborating on ideas are developed through exercises and projects, both individual and group, so as to forge new connections in patterns of work and thought. Students first work in a sketchbook to research, catalog and collect ideas with media exploration to include drawing, painting and collage. Examples and selected readings on how various well-known artists and thinkers generate their ideas are provided for further insight. Ultimately, students discover that ideas do not materialize from thin air and that there are strategies they can develop to sustain idea development as an ongoing process.

Picture Book Writer’s Workshop ages 18+ | ILUS-1014 | Marlo Garnsworthy |

Creating Worlds: Space Fantasy ages 18+ | ILUS-1207 | Greg Rebis

Looking for inspiration to take that dusty picture book manuscript or idea to the next level? This intensive workshop provides the opportunity to develop, revise and transform your picture book text or idea using specific writing toolbox essentials for the serious picture book writer. Included in the toolbox are pagination and storyboards, art notes, attention to pacing and Point of View, a variety of language devices, and writing exercises designed to enhance your characters and further the narrative. The workshop provides the opportunity to have your existing work critiqued and revised in a constructive forum with both the instructor’s and other writers’ input, and to take your work well beyond what you could have imagined or possibly achieved on your own.

Whether you call it space fantasy or science fiction, it’s in the DNA of cross-media attractions like The Force Awakens and Guardians of the Galaxy. In this illustration course, students learn about the rich history of the genre as they consider editorial prompts – extracted from the work of H.G. Wells, Jules Verne and others – that lead to the creation of new speculative environments. As they interpret these sources, student artists are reacquainted with lessons in perspective drawing, figure construction/draping and the principles of design. By the end of the course, students will have completed three to five new illustrated works in an ever-popular genre unified by exotic aliens, high technology and otherworldly locations.

The Artful Insect: Entomological Illustration ages 18+ | NATUR-2287 | Amy Bartlett Wright Students in this course learn to illustrate with the microscope, using insect specimens as intriguingly complex subject matter. Instruction includes basic methods of drawing accurately, proper use of microscopes, handling pinned specimens, and the fundamentals of insect anatomy. The instructor also demonstrates how to generate a symmetrical image and how to “repair” a damaged specimen through illustration. Students may choose to illustrate their chosen insect in the classic overhead posture (as seen in traditional scientific illustration) or to position it in a more lifelike stance. Preliminary drawings are done in pencil and serve as a basis for final color rendering in a medium of the student’s choice: colored pencil, watercolor, gouache, acrylic or a combination. Note: Specimens are provided in class. Applies to: NS-R

Designing Character: The Cute Ones ages 18+ | ILUS-1206 | Liz Goulet Dubois Cute sells. Aspiring illustrators, animators and toy designers need to recognize this, but more than that, they need to understand cute’s formula – written in the math of visual design. Line, shape, scale and proportion are the elements and principles used to craft character identity and to ensure immediate appeal. In this illustration studio, students are given a new understanding of the character design rules, with an emphasis on creating compelling characters that are faithful to the original editorial. These ideas become sketches and mockups that can then be translated for specific markets like children’s book publishing, animation and toy and gift product lines. Applies to: AD-E, AV-E, CB-E Prerequisite: Basic drawing skills

Prerequisite: Previous experience with realistic drawing

Acrylic Painting ages 18+ | PNT-0342 | Amy Bartlett Wright |

Oil Painting ages 18+ | PNT-0344 | Amy Wynne |

Experience with acrylic paint lays a foundation for learning to work with other water-based paint and is invaluable in skill-building for any painter, illustrator or designer. This class introduces acrylic painting through examples of work done in this versatile medium, followed by a demonstration on mixing. The first day, students practice simple painting methods and do simple exercises, including how to apply paint, layers and controlling opacity and transparency, thick vs. thin, and creating texture. On day two, students first prepare a background wash, then a preliminary drawing, and learn how to transfer the drawing onto that background. Everyone works from the same simple subject of their own choice. Clear, step-by-step instructions enable students to fully understand the process. This workshop is intended for absolute beginners, as well as for experienced painters who want to gain confidence and skill with the medium.

Without the right first steps, oil painting can be a challenging medium. This class aims to get students on the right track by emphasizing technique and strategy, while encouraging experimentation and individual development. Students are given an introduction to paint, brushes, medium and palette set-up. They then learn mixing, direct paint application, and consideration of value, color and composition, gaining knowledge and confidence in beginning and sustaining a painting. Learning to quickly establish design elements within a composition and assert a specific point of view, as well as understanding the importance of directional lighting, are crucial to critical first steps. A survey of the fundamentals of representational painting is presented. The class is structured around hands-on demonstrations and painting a variety of subjects so students gain familiarity with this exciting medium.

Mixed Media ages 18+ | ILUS-0506 | Liliya Krys-Burhoe | Mixed media is just that: mixing whatever material you want in whatever ways you want, with the most unexpected combinations often yielding the most interesting results. While this class facilitates practice and play to allow for individual discovery, directed exercises ensure a solid introduction to the possibilities of working with charcoal, watercolor, ink and acrylic. Techniques for gluing, drawing, painting, cutting, layering, collage and assemblage â&#x20AC;&#x201C; using such materials as cardboard, ribbon, paper, fabric, graphite, photos, diagrams and maps â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are investigated. Once students become skilled at the techniques, they are encouraged to venture beyond traditional applications of methods and materials to experiment with new combinations. As many artists today work in a wide range of mixed media, the ability to experiment proves invaluable as individuals look for the optimum medium to express their ideas. Work is done from observation, imagination and memory. Applies to: CB-E, DS-E, NS-E Saturday + Sunday, Feb 13 + 14 | 10am-4pm 2 sessions | 12 contact hours | tuition $250 | lab fee $10

PAINTING + PRINTMAKING Materials + Techniques ages 18+ | PNT-2621 | Liliya Krys-Burhoe

Interpretive Painting Studio ages 18+ | PNT-4493 | Susan Fossati |

It is essential for artists of all levels to have both knowledge of and familiarity with the materials and techniques specific to oil painting in order to fully perfect their craft. Through demonstrations, lectures and hands-on practice, topics covered include stretching canvas and preparing surfaces (cardboard, masonite, wood) for painting supports, paints and paint application, brushes, developing a color palette, and solvents and varnishes. Tonal techniques, direct painting, underpainting and glazing, and use of a palette knife are also explored. Emphasis is on skill building, rather than on specific image making, so the student is free to experiment. Please note that the course is appropriate for artists of all skill levels.

Prioritizing the process of painting rather than the content is the emphasis of this course, encouraging students to look inward and delve into a personalized interpretation and universal connection to painting. Set up as a working studio with weekly critiques, the instructor works one-on-one with each student to assess strengths and weaknesses and to offer guidance based on student input, needs and interests. Specific exercises strengthen core fundamental concepts of perspective, applied perspective, picture plane development, negative/positive shape, perception, color, line and texture. Examples from history and contemporary art reinforce and expand creativity as students choose subject matter and pursue either long-term or short-term paintings. Beginning painters receive technical direction and suggested assignments, while more experienced painters are encouraged to visually expand their artistic development with the benefit of an interactive studio setting. Students may use any painting medium they prefer.

Indirect Painting: Glazing ages 18+ | PNT-0351 | Amy Wynne

Applying oil paint in translucent layers, over an existing painting, is known as “glazing,” and is a great oil painting technique for the artist who wishes to enhance their painting beyond “alla prima,” or direct painting. Considered an indirect mode of painting – due to the need for layers to dry and the activity more deliberate and planned – glazing is good for building form and depth by creating the illusion that the surface is further away. A long favored process used in masterpiece paintings, glazed colors are saturated and jewel-like. This workshop introduces students to a variety of glazing methods, as well as different mediums for thinning the paint and specific ways of minimizing brush strokes. All artists can utilize this technique in multiple ways to further refine their painting practice.

Advanced Illustrator: Improve Your Curves, Shapes + Convincing Space ages 18+ | DFOU-2817 | Bryan Rodrigues Adobe Illustrator is known for its drawing capability using a vector-based system that allows for smooth instead of pixelated curves. Specific shapes can be organized in a predetermined stacking order to produce complex forms that seem to exist in a convincing spatial context. The beauty of this feature is that with shading, overlapping or color, artists can create the illusion of three-dimensional objects receding in space. Whether drawing a logo, figure or complex illustration, participants in this course become familiar with the tools used to depict space, light and color as they enrich their drawings through a computer-realized process. A variety of projects, each with its own idiosyncrasies, give students an understanding of the full range of Illustrator options. Applies to: AD-E, CB-E, GR-E, JM-E, WE-E

The animator’s challenge is to embody a static drawing with the illusion of life, making that doodle crawl, march, dance or soar. But where do you begin if your sole experience with cartoon movie-making is a flip book? In this introductory course, your instructor reveals the animator’s toolkit (both digital tools and pencil/paper), and explains the mechanics that allow separate and distinct drawings to be sequenced so that they flow together. Students collaborate in exercises that demonstrate animation principles such as cycles, levels and squash and stretch. By the end of the course you will have completed a short movie, built frame-by-frame, and have gained a measure of artistic confidence.

Special effects cinematography has always relied on the nimble merging of two very different images to create something new and extraordinary. Remember matte paintings on glass, toylike models of world landmarks and men in rubber monster suits? Those days are gone forever. Close that book, put those dusty tomes of amateurish optical effects on the shelf and turn on your computer because digital videography is a better, cheaper and faster way to go. This class introduces you to green screen capture and compositing, which are the underlying principles behind the startling visuals that have become commonplace in today’s movies. In a series of increasingly complex experiments, students use Adobe After Effects to matte and manipulate video images and unveil a never-before-seen digital fantasy world.

Runway Fashion Designer! ages 9-12 | CHILD-1274 | Bunky Hurter

In the fantastically popular game Minecraft, gamers are able to create and explore expansive worlds made entirely from digital cubes and, in the process, create what they need to navigate this built universe. Students in this class follow in the footsteps of Steve and assume the roles of character designer, architect, geological surveyor and engineer as they design and build the components of a new (non-digital) world and the architectural components, tools and equipment necessary to live there. Scenario play, discussion and interaction with classmates provide rich opportunities for creative problem solving and expression as they draw, paint, sculpt and refine their emerging world.

Do you dream of being a fashion designer? Learn all you need to know to create a one-of-a-kind garment and design presentation to show the world your design genius! Guided by a professional fashion designer and educator, learn how to draw the fashion figure, create inspirational “mood boards” of your design concepts, and make your ideas a reality by creating a head-to-toe look for your Barbie model. At session’s end, friends and family are invited to attend our “Runway Fashion Show,” where your Barbie model will “walk” the runway in your original design! All levels of experience are invited and no sewing experience is necessary. All you need is your love for fashion and lots of imagination!

Digital Wizardry: Computer Graphics for Kids ages 9-12 | CHILD-2921 | Rachel Villari

Cartooning Critters ages 9-12 | CHILD-1262 | Melissa Meyer

Don’t believe everything you see! Nearly every photograph that appears in print has been changed or manipulated in some way via the computer. The results of this computer-manipulated art can be found in video games, posters, comics and all over the Web. In this course, learn the secrets of digital magic that professional artists use to alter the truth and create fantastic works of art. Here young artists get to create original work from photographic or other preexisting sources and then, using the clever tools in Adobe Photoshop, they create comics, CD covers, posters and more. You won’t believe the digital wizardry that young artists can create!

Cartoon animals come in all shapes and sizes: some are four-legged, furry or feathered; others wear top hats, monocles or diapers. They strut on two legs or crawl on all four, and some even have eight arms at their disposal! Some behave like humans (Squidward, Hello Kitty and Brian Griffin), and some less so (Bambi and Thumper), but they all fascinate us and are perfect characters through which to tell a story. In this drawing course, you learn to cartoon animals, creating their stories and giving them personality that will have them hopping off the page. Your instructor first introduces you to some classic animal characters. Then, using simple drawing tools and techniques, you follow along to create your own unique critter creations.

Adventures in Drawing! ages 9-12 | CHILD-1997 | Steven Hayes Artist Keith Haring once said, “Drawing is still basically the same as it has been since prehistoric times. It brings together man and the world. It lives through magic.” Young artists in this workshop discover the nature of that magic, as they take command of the marks they make, and are provided with a thorough grounding in the fundamentals of drawing and sketching. Assignments utilize a rich array of drawing materials, while expanding on traditional subject matter: still lifes, landscapes, cityscapes and portraits, as well as both observational and abstract applications of making marks. The course is ideal for students with little or no experience who want to explore the magic of drawing. Group discussion and one-on-one instruction are provided to meet the specific needs of each student. Saturdays, Jan 9 – Feb 13 | 1-4pm 6 sessions | 18 contact hours | tuition $360 | lab fee $5

YOUNG ARTIST

Winter Vacation Camps AGES 7-17 Children and teens ages 7-17 are invited to join us for one of these full-day programs held at RISD’s Tillinghast Farm campus in Barrington, RI, or on the RISD campus in Providence. Note: Please provide a snack, bag lunch, and a beverage each day.

Master Pieces: An Exploration of Art + Theater ages 7-12 | CAMP-3721 | Steven Hayes, Lindsay Beebe | Some of the greatest paintings ever created are images of people frozen in time. In Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks, a counter-full of characters sit stuck in a moment. In Renoir’s Luncheon of the Boating Party a cheerful group of chatting friends are all stopped in mid-sentence. And the subject of Edvard Munch’s The Scream makes no sound at all. In Master Pieces, students work in small groups to bring the work of the great masters to life, in a theatrical way. They build and paint backdrops, design and make all the props and costumes – and they even write a short script and act out the scene from their painting. Whether you like to draw, paint, design, sculpt, build, write or act, there’s something for everyone. On the final day of camp, we showcase each scene in one big show for friends and family. At Tillinghast Farm | Monday – Friday, Feb 15 – 19 | 9am-4pm 5 sessions | 35 contact hours | tuition $495 | lab fee $10

‘Tooning Around: Cartoon Workshop ages 9-12 | CHILD-0289 | TBA This course invites young ‘toonists to get funny, silly or scary as they get serious about learning to create their own cartoon characters. Using basic pencil and pen-and-ink drawing techniques, students play with “line” and learn to experiment with personality on paper. Inspired by the rich tradition of cartooning found in children’s books, comic strips and animated cartoons, young artists bring their most whimsical ideas to life. So, when it’s time to return to reality, students will have increased their confidence with both words and pictures, and had some rollicking good fun in the process. On Providence Campus | Monday, Feb 15 | 10am-4pm 1 session | 6 contact hours | tuition $105

Advanced Photography: Light Painting ages 13-17 | TEEN-0287 | David Fleurant You can paint with pigment on a canvas or with light on a digital receptor, but it’s even more fun to combine the two methods. The result is the art of making marks with light, or as it is more commonly known, “light painting.” This workshop introduces students to the experimental technique of light painting with creative exercises designed to produce photographs unlike any they have made before. We use strobe lights, fiber optic devices and light pens to construct images by manipulating shutter speed and film (or receptor) sensitivity. The resulting light paintings have the familiarity of a photograph, but are emboldened with eye-popping marks that demand attention.

YOUNG ADULTS, AGES 13-17 Fundamentals of Drawing ages 13-17 | TEEN-2181 | Alison Plump

Let It Flow ages 13-17 | TEEN-0426 | Kurt Van Dexter

Have you ever looked at a great drawing and thought, “How was that done? It looks so real!” This class uses an easy, step-by-step approach that unravels the mysteries of successful drawing. Emphasizing observation and exercises based on both traditional and innovative techniques, we focus on the concepts that are vital to any artist’s education: composition, line, value and perspective. Using a variety of media, including pencils, pens and charcoal, students strengthen their skills through a series of projects from small to large: from beetles and butterflies in the RISD Nature Lab to the architectural panorama of Providence. See how going back to the drawing board prepares you for a future in the world of art and design.

Unleash your daring side and tackle the unique challenges of water-based media including watercolor, gouache and India ink. In this class we learn to use these materials with confidence and understand the differences and qualities of each by creating numerous projects. Students learn to control and maximize striking values with permanent India ink, layer translucent washes of watercolors and explore the bold use of opaque colors with gouache. We work both in the studio and, in warmer seasons, outdoors on location around downtown Providence.

Figure Drawing + Painting ages 13-17 | TEEN-3810 | Heather Cronin-Bachstein The human form is a constant dynamic subject in art. To describe the human figure is to describe the human experience. Students in this course investigate expressive and experimental directions of both drawing and painting through the use of a variety of conventional and unconventional materials and processes. From charcoal, contour, and gesture drawing to collaborative mixed-media artworks, this class is reflective, fun and imaginative. Students expand their understanding of fundamental skills, including drawing composition, figure proportion and anatomy, while learning and discovering individual strategies for color and mark-making styles that evoke emotional and/or intellectual responses. Throughout, participants are encouraged to experiment and take risks. Applies to: AT Saturdays, Jan 9 – Feb 13 | 1-4pm 6 sessions | 18 contact hours | tuition $360 | lab fee $15 | model fee $25

Sketchbook Workshop: Drawing in the Moment ages 13-17 | TEEN-1758 | Louis Jannetta Artist Ben Shahn once said that “if you have to lay aside painting for a time, continue to draw.” Artists who sketch and draw as much as possible maximize their observation skills and drawing potential. During this course, you learn how to collect spontaneous, quick sketches, using hand, eye and mind coordination that capture the integrity of the moment. Using a variety of accessible drawing materials, you build many mini compositions, explore objects, and experiment with values and line variations. You and your sketchbook embark on a journey from gesture drawings to detailed renderings – in the studio, Nature Lab and RISD Museum, at home, in the park, or even on a bus. Each week you advance your technical skills, your ability to observe, and to draw. The class culminates with the transformation of selected sketches into larger, fully realized works of painted, printed, or perhaps even sculpted, art.

Fashion Sketchbook ages 13-17 | TEEN-1867 | Bunky Hurter A professional portfolio is a thing of beauty: clean, well laid-out and edited to perfection, it’s your “red carpet gown” of design presentations. But where’s the work that got you to those perfect portfolio plates? In addition to your portfolio, art schools and colleges are interested in looking at your design sketchbook, which shows your creative growth and exploration. Based on Martin Dawber’s The Complete Fashion Sketchbook, this course explores ideas and exercises to make the most of your fashion sketchbook. Guided by the elements and principals of design, students learn new approaches and sources for working with color, silhouette and texture, and find inspiration in unexpected places. You’ll employ drawing, photography, multimedia collage, and “draping” on a miniature dress form, and then photograph results to include in your sketchbook. Note: Students must have access to a digital camera (your phone is fine) and a printer. Access to a sewing machine is a plus.

Eco-Fashion: Out with the Old, In with the New (STEAM) ages 13-17 | TEEN-0482 | Candace French In this eco-fashion workshop, students take action to reduce a garment’s carbon footprint by restyling found fashions into exciting new garments. Anything goes – from adding new fabrics or found objects to combining multiple garments to performing clothing surgery – as your past wardrobe is transformed into interesting, new, updated styles. Transformation begins with your design ideas, deconstruction and construction techniques, and reinventing garments by adding or subtracting elements. Then, ordinary becomes extraordinary when students apply a multitude of decorative techniques. Plan to bring something to recreate, as well as any decorative items to use in refashioning your garment. Some sewing machines will be available, but students are welcome to bring their own. Applies to: YD, YF Saturdays, Jan 9 – Feb 13 | 1-4pm 6 sessions | 18 contact hours | tuition $360 | lab fee $25

Intensive Workshops for Teens These workshops can be taken alone, or in combination with other classes, to provide more in-depth exposure to critical skills. Each workshop includes a break for lunch; students must provide lunch and snacks.

Designing for the Red Carpet ages 13-17 | TEEN-0481 | Candace French

Advanced Photography: Light Painting ages 13-17 | TEEN-0287 | David Fleurant

Kim Kardashian needs a six-piece wardrobe to wear in Paris. Jennifer Lawrence wants to look regal for the Oscars. Beyoncé needs an after-Grammy gown that will dance all night! In this workshop we mix and match design challenges with different celebrity personalities to design either a specific piece for a special occasion (e.g., the Oscars), or conceive of a wardrobe collection for that person. We study what these larger-than-life figures currently wear, where they sometimes go wrong, and how we as designers can utilize our own aesthetic to create an image that is just right for our celebrity clients. Students can expect to generate a collection of quick concept designs that cover a range of styles and design challenges in response to ‘real world’ scenarios.

You can paint with pigment on a canvas or with light on a digital receptor, but it’s even more fun to combine the two methods. The result is the art of making marks with light, or as it is more commonly known, “light painting.” This workshop introduces students to the experimental technique of light painting with creative exercises designed to produce photographs unlike any they have made before.

Steampunk Fabrication Lab (STEAM) ages 13-17 | TEEN-0457 | Jason Robert LeClair

Start Cartooning ages 13-17 | TEEN-2179 | Greg Rebis

Gears, goggles, rivets, springs, clockworks and lace: This is the stuff that steampunks are made of, and the ingredients for this new design lab. In this course we re-envision gadgets and gear, starting with drawings and schematics that are then built as prototypes that are both sculpturally unique and faithful to the aesthetic of this sci-fi subculture. The instructor begins with lessons in design and drafting that reinforce the connection between 2D imagining and 3D construction. Together the class explores materials and methods for model building that are done to scale and as full-size replica helmets, tools and transports. Students practice fauxfinishing techniques that are the key to simulating materials like brass, copper and aged leather, to complete the look that might become the components of a convincing costume used in an art school portfolio.

Young artists see through cartoon-colored glasses in their first encounter with art and design. This course acknowledges that reality, and introduces them to the basic techniques of drawing humans and animals cartoonstyle. Students learn to give attitude and expression to their still drawings of original characters and caricatured celebrities. As a class they observe the work of classic cartoonists like Charles M. Schulz, Bill Watterson, and Chuck Jones to appreciate cartoon mastery. They study proportion, anatomy, exaggeration and gesture as they become more confident draftsmen and clever cartoon creators, each one with a signature style.

Introduction to Digital Photography ages 13-17 | TEEN-2196 | David Fleurant Discover the basics of shooting, manipulating and printing your digital photographs in our digital photo studio. Students first learn about the settings and functions of their digital cameras, as well as the basic techniques of shooting digital photos. Each week, we photograph various subjects and review and critique each others’ images. Using scanners and Adobe Photoshop, we import our images into Macintosh computers and learn how to manipulate various elements before printing, offering endless possibilities for special effects.

Drawing for Animation ages 13-17 | TEEN-2923 | Melinda Rainsberger In many ways animation has not changed since Gertie the Dinosaur came to life under the expressive pen of Winsor McCay. It is still an art form that instills the illusion of life in fantastic characters simply composed of multiple views put into motion. This course is for students who wish to advance their knowledge of core cartooning skills learned in Start Cartooning, as they enable creations to first walk, and then run, leap and dance. Through an in-depth look at how leading artists in the field create their work, students get an insider’s view of hand-drawn animation in a professional setting. As they develop their own stylized characters, they participate in exercises that include storyboarding, volumetric drawing, perspective studies and foreshortening of the cartoon figure. Animation principles and devices – such as model sheets, motion studies, flip books and cycles – are explained and practiced, and projects are burned to a take-home disc to share with family and friends.

Movie Masterworks: Hollywood Makeup Effects ages 13-17 | TEEN-0449 | Jason Robert LeClair

There’s a world of games out there. You may even have them on your cell phone or your iPod. So it is our pleasure to announce to all game design enthusiasts, “Your time has come; the fundamentals of game design are within your grasp.” Join us to build simple interactive games with the latest Web technologies. Draw, animate and craft interactivity by applying basic programming in JavaScript. No programming experience is necessary, though students should be computer literate, preferably with some experience in programs such as Illustrator or Photoshop. The instructor introduces you to the basics of interactivity for game design using preprogrammed game modules that illustrate behaviors like mouse- and keyboard-controlled animation and boundary events. Let the games begin!

Let free your inner zombie! In this course, students explore the world of Hollywood special effects makeup artists, and learn skills that are essential on Halloween or whenever a believable (or unbelievable) disguise is essential. A practiced makeup artist demonstrates techniques for creating effects that are as realistic (with pores, wrinkles and creases) or as otherworldly (with scales, wounds and craters) as you can imagine. The makeup designs begin as well-considered drawings and then are translated to the real-life world of the flesh. Throughout the process students reinforce their abilities to conceive and execute from drawings, to sculpt and make the imagined monsters and villains real for both homemade video thriller or costume party.

I Incomplete

Incomplete (I): A grade of “I” is assigned only when coursework is not completed due to extenuating circumstances, and it is given only at the request of the student and the discretion of the instructor. The time allowed for completion of work may not exceed four weeks after the end of the semester in which the course was taken. Work not completed within this period receives a final grade of “F.” Student grades are recorded for courses meeting 18 hours or more (or for Young Adult courses, 12 hours or more), but grades are mailed only to certificate candidates (six weeks after classes end) to the student address on file. Other students may get their grades in person at the RISD | CE office or by requesting a transcript in writing (also after six weeks). Grades and transcripts are not available by phone or email. To order transcripts, send a check, money order or credit card information for $5 per transcript (we do not accept cash for this service), payable to RISD | CE, along with the following information: • Name at the time of enrollment • Year and semester you were enrolled • Phone number where you can be reached • Contact name and address where you want the transcript sent • If paying by credit card, include card number, expiration date and cardholder name, plus house number and zip code of the billing address. Mail to Transcripts RISD | CE Two College Street Providence, RI 02903–2787 or fax to 401 454-6218 (credit card payments only). Please allow 2 – 3 weeks for processing.

Grade Review + Change For guidelines regarding requests for an academic

• disruption of learning • threats to the safety of self or others • foul or obscene gestures or language

• disrespect to others • destruction of property or theft

Student status is a privilege subject to certain expectations. RISD reserves the right to suspend or dismiss students at any time for conduct that RISD deems to be detrimental to the RISD community or that violates laws of the State of Rhode Island or the United States.

Photographs and Videos We sometimes take photos and videos of students and their artwork for the purpose of promoting RISD | CE programming on our website and in our catalogs and other print materials. If we have used a photo or video of you that you would prefer not to have used, please contact us by email at cemail@risd.edu requesting that we remove the image, and we will be happy to take the photo or video down from our website and not use the photo in future print publications.

grade review, please contact RISD | CE at 401 454-6200. Please note that after one semester following the completion of the course in question, grades become part of the permanent academic record and cannot be changed.

Changing Your Registration Status Adding a Course You may add a course before the second class meeting or before three hours have elapsed in a shorter, more intensive course. This may be done in person using a drop/add form or by fax or phone with a credit card. Tuition is not prorated for any missed classes. Withdrawing from a Course Failure to withdraw properly from a course results in a permanent grade of “F” on your record and the loss of any potential refund. Withdrawals from courses must be received in writing at the CE ofﬁce by the course end date. Withdrawals should be addressed to

Associate Director for Enrollment + Operations RISD | CE Two College Street Providence, RI 02903–2787

The refund policy is detailed on page 46.

general information

Tuition Reimbursement Students who require a letter from RISD | CE

confirming completion of a course or courses in order to receive reimbursement from their employers should email, mail or fax to the CE office their written request for an Employee Reimbursement Letter, indicating their employer’s full address, or they should come to the CE office and fill out a request in person. RISD | CE sends Employee Reimbursement Letters directly to employers; they cannot be issued to students.

Supplies + Books Students must purchase materials or books for some courses. Supply lists are usually distributed during the ﬁrst class; when necessary, a supply list for the ﬁrst class is printed on registration statements. See “Campus Information” (page 44) for locations of supply stores on campus.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION Tuition Tuition costs are listed with each course description. To determine if you qualify for a discount, see the information below.

Fees Special Fees Any lab (laboratory), model, studio, materials or other fees appear with the course description and must be paid with tuition at registration. They are nonrefundable after the first class and are not subject to discount. Certificate Fee Certificate candidates pay an additional $25 certificate fee per semester (not per course).

Veterans Veterans should consult with the Veterans Administration

Regional Office to verify their benefits. A letter from the VA confirming benefits must accompany the student’s registration form.

Discounts Senior Citizens (Ages 65+) RISD Alumni

RISD Matriculated Students RISD Museum Members

Registrants in RISD | CE classes from any of the four categories above may apply a 10% discount to their tuition (rounded to the nearest dollar) for courses that meet 18 hours or more, except those involving special costs such as transportation, admittance fees, and so forth. Discounts are not transferable to family members. Also, these discounts apply only once; that is, if a senior is also an alumnus, the discount is still 10%. These discounts apply to the current semester only and are not retroactive. The discount does not apply to special fees.

Refunds To obtain a refund, submit written notification of withdrawal to the Associate Director for Enrollment + Operations in the RISD | CE office in person or by mail or fax. Refunds are based on tuition only and are calculated according to the date the notification is received in the RISD | CE office or, if mailed, according to the date of the postmark. There is a $15 processing fee per course for all withdrawals. Special fees are not refundable after the first class. Failure to complete a course does not constitute official withdrawal; nor does notification of withdrawal to the instructor. In some cases, an instructor may determine that a student has not successfully met prerequisites and recommend an alternative course of study. If notice of this recommended withdrawal is provided to the student in writing on the date of the first class session, the student should immediately bring that notice to the CE office to receive a full refund. Processing refunds requires at least six weeks. Refunds of MasterCard or VISA charges are credited to the account that was charged. We do not retain credit card information; therefore, we may need to request your credit card information again in order to issue your refund. Tuition refunds are calculated according to the following scale, minus a $15 withdrawal processing fee.
