Abstract Drawing, adults
Instructor: Kari Bretigam
  • Focus: Loosen up and create perfectly imperfect floral drawings with an emphasis on materials and mark-making. In this workshop, students will experiment with a variety of drawing materials, including charcoal and pastel, to develop a vocabulary of expressive marks.  Participants will complete several drawing activities that build upon one another as we investigate line, color, and texture as they relate to floral drawing.  This workshop is open to all skill levels. ​Cost: Includes all materials​

Graphic Design, adults
​Instructor: Fisayo Delano
  • Focus: Dive into the world of Graphic Design without exclusively using a computer!  This one-day workshop will provide students with the fundamentals of design concepts by introducing the Golden Ratio, and how to use it to improve your designs without the need for Adobe programs.  Students will learn how to apply design to structure a visual hierarchy and create something wonderful by hand using traditional pen and paper.  You will learn skills that can easily be transferred into many different disciplines such as web and print design, marketing, or app development.​:​
