Mondays
$350.00

Ages 16- Senior Citizen

Schedule: 6 weeks - (Monday, 11th- Monday, June 22nd)-- * Off for Memorial Day

Please note: this class is asynchronous

Style is a very personal thing— like fingerprints or bite patterns. Anyone who says they can teach you a style is either lying or preparing to turn you into little more than a xerox machine. Being influenced to some degree by another artist is fine — we all learn that way— but copying what already exists isn’t creating a style. It’s lazy and unoriginal and it’s stealing.

As an asynchronous class, this is perfect for folks who want to work on their own schedule, can't be in a class at a specific day or time, or are in a different time zone. Take it from anywhere you are in the world.

As with all our classes, Style Development will provide a fun, provocative, challenging, supportive environment for students and illustrators to continue to learn and evolve.

Projects will be assigned on Mondays and will be due the following Monday before 10AM, EST.

MATERIALS:

You may work in any medium/s that you're comfortable using.
