Drawing & Illustration Techniques
Instructor: Art Center Faculty
Skill Level: All [Teens only at Ridgedale]
In this class we will improve our drawing skills while learning the process of illustrating a story from start to finish. Students will either write their own story or use a pre-published work for inspiration (poems, short stories, music lyrics, etc.) We will design the page layout, create rough sketches of characters and images and then use our sketches to create final drawings. We will finish class with a series of illustrations that can be bound and finished. Students will choose what media they will use to create their illustrations. No previous drawing experience necessary. Class price includes all materials. Enrollment limited to 16; ages 13 - 17

Teen Fashion Design
Instructor: Art Center Faculty
Skill Level: All [Teens only at Ridgedale]
Students will need to bring clothing to modify to the first class meeting. In this class we will create new fashion designs by deconstructing old garments, up-cycling found materials and modifying fabrics and clothing into entirely “new” designs. Basic sewing, appliqué, fabric modification and surface design techniques will be taught for the creation of two-three projects that push the limits of ordinary fashion. Basic to intermediate fashion design techniques will be demonstrated and ample time for personal exploration and one-to-one instruction available. Class fee includes some basic materials.
