Fall Back into ART!
Wow! Summer seemed to just fly by. With my daughter home from school we had a great time playing, traveling, and relaxing. I'm so excited for the fall, however, and all of the new things that are happening... Labor Day weekend I kicked off a series of Illustration workshops being offered at The Fox River Academy of Music and Art. We started with a basic Character Design workshop where the students learned how to create a character using basic visual storytelling techniques. Since it was the first workshop I allowed the kids to work in any style they were comfortable with and let them design any character they wanted. We ended up with some tough Manga/Anime girls and a nomadic canine. These kids did great! In future workshops we will focus on many different genres in the Character Design world, as well as doing some Creature Design, Children's Book Illustration, and Decorative/Greeting Card Artwork.
