Description
Class Experience
Skill Acquisition - Students create unique, original cartoon monster illustrations using specific techniques demonstrated by the teacher - Methods for quickly illustrating many kinds of monster "parts" are imparted to students, which they learn to combine into unique and surprising creations - Through brainstorming sessions, students provide verbal and illustrated responses to questions which form the basis of new characters, names, and story plots This is a live class, and the instructor uses a 2-camera system to feature specific illustration styles and techniques. Students are encouraged (within reason!) to spontaneously interact with the instructor and others during most exercises, and this class can be very interactive and lively.
Recommended Study There is no specific homework or outside reading required for this class. However, these books and movies inform the general art styles students will learn: "Where the Wild Things Are", "ParaNorman", "Aliens vs Monsters'', "The Nightmare Before Christmas".
Required Materials -Lots of white A4 (printer) paper (or similar) -Thick black pens, sharpies, pencils, and erasers (colored markers optional)
40 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
