The focus of this studio is developing the ability to see and then translate visual experience, through investigations of both traditional and nontraditional approaches to various subjects, including nature, architecture, abstraction, and the figure. We'll master basic concepts in drawing and painting and then focus on personal projects

Graphic artists are the visual storytellers of our time. From children’s books to magazine covers, movie storyboards, web images, posters, and pattern designs, the world sees the art of illustration, graphic design, and printmaking everywhere. Participants learn traditional crafts skills and explore contemporary processes while becoming familiar with presses, rollers, fine art papers, inks, and the basic terminology of print media. This studio also includes instruction in drawing, illustration, and digital techniques for students to develop personal imagery.
