COURSE DESCRIPTION:
For tweens up to adults. Students learn dynamic drawing and inking skills by way of creating both popular animation/anime style characters as well as some realistic animal and people studies. Through curated resources and hands on exercises, the fundamentals of dimensional sketching and design (shape, line, proportion, gesture, shading, anatomy, foreshortening, action, composition, etc, plus dramatic finishing touches like fur, texture, and lighting) are introduced in a way that encourages students to have fun with the process in making their own characters, fan art, and super fun illustrations! We’ll have lessons in facial expressions, action poses, costume and environment design, visual storytelling, plus shading and inking skills. We’ll make one awesome final design including your character in an imagined environment, plus sidekicks, vehicles, props or whatever else. Learn how to communicate your vivid imagination, individual style, and creativity through compelling visuals. No previous drawing experience required.
The cost is $199 for the 12 weeks. All supplies included in the price. We also take payments from the following organizations: Athenian, Harmony, My Tech High, LAU and potentially Utah Education Fits All (please inquire with us to ensure on this one beforehand).
We start classes on the week of September 9th and end on the week of November 25th.

INSTRUCTOR:
Charis holds a BFA in Illustration from ArtCenter College of Design near Los Angeles. There she studied entertainment design as well as multiple forms of illustration and design. The summer after graduating, she interned at Film Roman, the animation company that makes the show The Simpsons. She has created storyboards for indie film projects as well as displayed her art in many major US cities. Teaching became her primary focus when she moved to Hawaii with her husband (stationed there with the Navy) and taught various art classes on multiple bases as well as in a hotel on Waikiki beach. She spent almost a decade on Oahu, so freediving and island life always inspires her personal paintings. She and her family moved to Utah in 2020 when they said goodbye to military life and now happily reside in Syracuse. She teaches both realistic and stylized drawing and painting in acrylics, gouache, and oils.
