Illustration

What you'll learn

A class that can be considered an all time favorite. Turn your doodles into illustrations and learn perspectives, shading, and other aspects of illustration. With Teacher Leilei, she has the experience to teach illustration to all ages. The possibility of illustration drawing is endless. One day we might be exploring famous artists’ styles; another day we might be drawing details for Japanese animations. All of the art happens at the tips of our students’ pencils.

Digital Painting (private lesson only)

What you'll learn

With an iPad, an Apple Pen, and the ProCreate App, the journey to digital art and animation has just begun! With these three tools, Teachers Cody and Gaoshan teach students how to shade, draw, and use layers to create digital art. There are life long benefits of learning how to do digital art, as our world is dominated by technology. Students who learn digital art at a young age are at a higher advantage to get a job in digital animation, or even game design.
