  Foundations of Character Development

  taught by Bennett Kimble-Lee

  This class introduces core principles behind creating strong, memorable characters. We’ll explore topics such as shape language, visual readability, and how a character’s design reflects their story and/or setting. Through guided prompts and in-class exercises, you’ll put these ideas into practice and develop 1–2 rough character concepts of your own.

  Whether you’re new to character design or looking to sharpen your fundamentals, this workshop will give you the tools to start designing with purpose and clarity.

  Students are encouraged to bring their own tablets/computers; if they prefer to work digitally.

  Serenity Now: Mandala Drawing

  taught by Theresa Dickenson

  Stress is a thing we all deal with in life and having an outlet for that stress becomes important. Mandala drawing has become that outlet for me and I want to share that with you!

  If you can doodle…you can draw a mandala. It's not about perfection, it's about the repetitive motion of creating something amazing and letting all of your stress go.

  In this class, you will learn what a mandala is and how to draw one. You will leave this class with a mandala drawing kit (including all of the tools to start drawing a mandala from scratch), the skills to draw a mandala from scratch, at least one completed mandala drawing and a little more inner peace.
