Here, he talks about the experience and how it affected his personal goals and career plans. What was your goal in attending Red Engine Atelier?
about. Thursdays’ focus was critique of our work.
In attending the Red Engine Atelier program this summer, my goal was to develop my skills as an artist. My primary focus was the human figure, as well as design for entertainment. The time I spent studying there more than satisfied that goal. Not only did my abilities as an artist and designer improve immensely, but so did my understanding of my professional future.
Do you recommend this program for Johnnies interested in art?
What was a typical day like?

January/February 2015
Classes were held twice a week. I and four other students would meet for three hours. On Tuesdays, there would be a lecture concerning several aspects of technique or design that the students were curious
While the class was deeply rewarding, and while there were no prerequisites, I feel that this intensive training could possibly be a struggle for someone who doesn’t already have some exposure to art, design, and entertainment, all of which fall outside the St. John’s program. For those who have already developed some of these skills, I cannot recommend it enough.
