Take a Class with Me!

***UPDATE 1/10/2013, 1 spot left! Thanks to everyone who signed up and look forward to meeting you all!**** 

For those who are interested I will be teaching Vis Com 1: Dynamic Sketching at the Concept Design Academy in Pasadena. The 10-week classes begin on February 9, and will be held Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. 

"What is Vis Com 1?" Well, I am glad you asked. This class will be taking the approach that drawing a plant or an insect is no different than the approach toward drawing a tank or a plane. We'll learn how to see things in life and break them down into their most simplest forms; therefore, making it easier and less frustrating to draw. Class involves a lot of field trips and homework so you will be drawing tons and visiting great museums and hidden gems that California has to offer. 

Sign-up begins today at 12:00 p.m. PST. Here is a link to the enrollment and registration page so head over there now!

Below are a few sketches, sample demos, class handouts, and student critiques to give you an idea of how the class will run. Thanks for stopping by and see you in class!
