(ENDED) Beginner Illustration Sessions – Summer 2019

Description

Beginner Illustration Learning Targets

The purpose of the Beginner Illustration sessions is to learn how to tell stories with art. The first two sessions will focus on parts of a story – characters, setting, and plot. The final two sessions will focus on putting those pieces together to create full scale illustrations of different kinds. These classes are OPEN TO ALL AGES. You’re never to young or old to start learning about art! If you took this class last summer, and you’re looking for something more advanced, we recommend that you try our Advanced Illustration sessions this summer!
