MANGA DRAWING - Asian style drawn animation has continued to grow in popularity. This new class offered on Saturday each week will teach conventional realistic-drawing techniques (which are all part of Manga style animation) but with a twist. All the subject matter will feature Manga characters, scenarios, design, lighting and more. It's the best of both worlds for kids that love Manga. They develop skills that translate to any kind of realistic drawing, yet they are able to learn while drawing the content they want....Manga!
MEDIUMS & TECHNIQUES - We are frequently asked if we teach a Pen & Ink class or a Colored-Pencil class or some other medium-specific class. It certainly makes sense that people would want to learn a lot about a particular medium that they favor for their artwork. The Spring trimester will feature one six-class session of Mediums and Techniques of Colored Pencils. We will be using a variety of brands including Prismacolor, Prismacolor Art Sticks, Staedtler Watercolor pencils, and others. Materials are provided however students may bring their own if they wish to work with a favored brand. Subject matter will be discussed at the first class and agreed upon by mutual consent. Minimum age is 12. SPRING class schedule: SUNDAYS: March 30, Apr 13, Apr 27, May 4, May 18 and Jun 8. — 6 classes total — $160 (all materials included)
Drawing & Painting for Adults - If you'd like to learn some drawing skills and watercolor painting techniques without making a huge commitment of time or money, this is your class. You will almost certainly discover that drawing and painting can be enjoyable, and personally rewarding. All the materials are included, we don't critique anyone's artwork and we keep the classes small enough to provide assistance to everyone. Plus the classes are held bi-weekly (except 4/27 and 5/4) on Sunday afternoons so you can still have a life!

Build Your Own Class - This class option is for anyone who wants to make some arrangements. Our studios are available nearly every weekday morning, and a couple of early afternoons. If you have a group, posse or gang and would like to put together a series of classes we may be able to accommodate. Classes could include: drawing and/or painting with graphite/colored pencils, charcoal, markers, oil/soft pastels, watercolor/acrylic paint, porcelain/silk paint, silk-screen and/or linoleum-block printing, paper cutting/folding/casting, and more. Minimum of 5 students needed to "build-a-class".
