This is a great class to try out different techniques with inspiration from many illustrators throughout history. How do we create narrative in our work and how can we spark interest in our viewers imagination? In this class we will be using traditional mediums such as pencil, ink, and watercolor to explore different styles of illustration. We will be practicing visual techniques and elements important to creating narratives. Students will be encouraged to explore illustrators who influence and inspire them as they work on their own story-telling pieces.

This class is taught in English.

We will NOT have class the week of Thanksgiving.

ADA ACCESSIBILITY & ACCOMMODATIONS:

Our classrooms are ADA accessible. Some courses may involve tasks or activities that may be difficult for individuals with limited strength, difficulty bending over, and sitting or standing for long periods of time. We are happy to work with students to find solutions to make their experience positive and doable. For example, wheel throwing takes arm strength and bending over the wheel. Students may work on hand-building projects instead of throwing. Please reach out to our office to discuss your needs.
