Young learners’ minds have the ability to invent the wildest creatures imaginable, and these are often the first steps toward a fascination with art, design, and more. Learning to refine and translate the ideas in their mind can lead to many more sophisticated skills down the line.
This Explorers workshop starts with the fundamental principles of character design and animal anatomy to lay the foundations for more realistic artistic depictions. Instructors will take students through the process of both sculpting and drawing characters and creatures from start to finish.
By the end of the course, students will be able to apply their new understanding of design fundamentals to bring all of their future artwork to life.
