WORLD BUILDING & CHARACTER DESIGN with Turner Davis

In this class designed for teens students will learn all about “Concept Art,” which is essentially centered around the art practice of “world building.”  In this class students will be challenged to explore the various components of “Concept Art” designing characters, creatures and machines, and integrating those components into an imaginary environmental/context or “world.” Students will then focus on ways these components can be coherently integrated together utilizing different rendering techniques and furthering their formal understanding of visual creation.

Open to ages 10 and up

ART LAB with Luke Ramsey

Science and art collide in this exciting and new after-school class!  Students ages 8 -11 will explore the concept of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) through creative experimentation, building a ‘robot artist’ capable of producing abstract works of art. They will become engineers and use the power of wind to create wind-powered kinetic sculptures, explore the science of sunlight using cyanotypes made with pressed Sonoran plants to explore the power of light, from photosynthesis to photography.  Plus, using math, students will learn to create mind-illusions by following simple mathematical instructions.

Students age 7 – 10.
