Class Experience

*Experience required: Beginners with an engaged learning mindset are most welcome!! Prior car-drawing experience is helpful but not needed.*

Welcome! In this vehicle design crash course, we will learn everything needed to design a rad vehicle. In this crash course, what you'll learn will apply to cars, motorcycles, car-like flying cars, spaceships, or small ships!

🟠 Class Structure 🟠

We will cover everything you'll need to design a stunning vehicle concept, from basic automotive mechanics...

Students will have first-hand exposure to learning, sketching, designing, and rendering their car / automotive design - the way professionals do it. They'll learn the entire design process, from learning a car's underlying structures (automotive package design) to utilizing simple lines, circles, and curves to sketch a stylish yet mechanically believable vehicle. Students will then learn to transfer their sketches onto Procreate and finally finish by learning how to digitally add color, shade, and chrome reflections to their "finished vehicle concept"!

I graduated from Art Center College of Design, one of the world's top industrial design and car design schools. I've also had many years of experience designing land and space-age vehicles. Because of that, I possess an in-depth knowledge and experience on the process of designing automobiles and vehicle concepts. I bring to my students an "up-to-date" kind of experience - one that's infused with a lot of humor, diligent work, real-world-based insights and life experiences together. 

On top of that, I have over 12 years of experience, teaching design and visual communication as a sought-after local art teacher in multiple after hour programs in Southern California. I love working with kids and youths, as they also enjoy the kind of dynamic, fun and "hands-on" type of teaching which I constantly model and demonstrate. 

My vision - and my teaching style - goes beyond merely teaching art. I aim to inspire and equip the innovative creative leader within every child or youth.

This bootcamp is a 1-time crash course, and our intensive will require no homework assignments. However, students are welcome to take what they learn, sketch cars, and share with the instructor.

  1 file available upon enrollmentSimple Art Materials Required:
1: Sketchbook, Pencils, Erasers, Ruler
2: A few simple Bic Black ball-point pens

Optional: 
Procreate or Photoshop (accompanied by iPad, Apple Pencil, or a computer with a stylus)

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

At the end of the courses, students will present their final drawing project alongside an "old drawing" they created at the beginning of the class, and compare and witness their incredible growth in car-design skills in a short amount of time.

1 hour per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

The contents of this class are safe and appropriate for all ages!

If you're reading this, then the chances are that you, like myself, feel that their teachers in public school settings often underestimate today's kids.

Beyond being a fun teacher, I aim to give my students' hidden potentials a voice by...
